Call me old fashioned but, if my fiancee told me she didn't want my to use my surname id have deep reservations about marrying her.
what on earth would you call the children..double barrel I guess...I wonder who wil decide who name will go last...at a guess the woman will make that choice
Welcome to liberalised Britain at its best![]()
In Spain no one changes their name on marriage, the men don't seem to feel any less confident in their 'manliness.' Children take the first surname of both parents.
If I expected my intended to subjugate herself to 'prove her love' I would hope she would see the writing on the wall and go and find a real man, instead of one who wanted to 'own' her !
What's this 'manliness' and 'confidence' stuff about?...you lost me there John.
What I was meaning was, taking the husbands surname is traditional in most countries....even in The Philippines.....in my case, nothing to do with ego
My wife was so proud changing her name in her passport to ie; Christian name, father's name and my surname. I was equally proud to have my name attached to my wife's previous surname....everybody happy![]()
