Do you think women should have to take their husband's last name?

  • It's less confusing to share a last name when doing taxes, buying a house, car etc.

    • Actually that stuff is not difficult at all with different last names. It's the 'simpler' things like dealing with your kids in school or any of the other less sophisticated systems that have limited or no access to national identity database thingys. In those cases you are going to have to provide a lot of proof yourself and be prepared for denials, delays and extra hoops to jump through.

    • I don't mind. If the guy does, he can change his name.

      • Yes it is legal to take your wifes last name. I think most men want to make sure thier lineage remains in tact.

          • It's just an American custom. In a lot of hispanic countries the child has both parents last name. Which is fine. Thoughit does make for a long name.

            • Yeah. An old custom, put into place when women were still objects that husbands got to stamp their name on.
