Fellas, how would you react if your fiancee said that she'd like for you to change your surname upon marriage.

Perhaps to both of your names hyphenated together.
Thompson-Williams.

Or a change to a new name that combines the two.
Johnson+Benjamin=Benson or James+Lee=Jamesly or Smith+Long=Lith

Or a change to a made up name that has nothing to do with your surnames.
Insertmadeupnamehere.

So that the both of you would have a new name.

Would you?

What if she wanted for only you to change your name. To hers. Would you consider it?


Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.
If you miss me at the back of the bus
You can't find me nowhere
Come on over to the front of the bus
I'll be riding up there
-Seeger

Don't Talk. DONATE!

Interesting question.

Probably depends on her reasons for the request.

The answer would definitely be no if it boiled down to a feminist rationalization.

Unless she was paid like Oprah.

"There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general:
(1) Recklessness, which leads to destruction;
(2) cowardice, which leads to capture;
(3) a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults;
(4) a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame;
(5) over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble."

[excuse me for butting in on the men's thread, but...]

I like this kind of thinking... the whole new name thang. Two people coming together to form a new partnership... it has potential. I'd consider it. Smile

Hey, even *I* would change my name for Oprah. I'd marry her and take her name too. I LOVE you Oprah. LOL.

And girlfriend, if you're reading this -- I give GOOD HUGS and I'd make a good wife for you.

We couldn't/wouldn't have sex though. . .but we could have an open marriage and you could have sex with anybody you want. Just come home to momma.

And don't bring that damn GALE with you.

LOL.
