Well?

Fine by me

Wouldnt care.

Deuces.

Fine by me as long as the kids have Hyphenated Last names from both of us.
---

who gives a fuck?
---

Sure. Didn't say the kids take her name.
---

I don't care. Only reason last name has relevance is if you want to have kids with your last name but I don't want kids.

Personally, I think all kids should have Hyphenated Last names of their biological parents.

e.g.:
<Your Name> <Father/Mother>-<Father/Mother>

You really aren't thinking that through

Those names are going to get real long, within just a few generations.

So by generation 6 they'll have potentially 14 names....

As long I the kid gets to have my name if we have one. I don't want to look like a statistic.

lol

You mean 64 or 32 names depending on how you count generations.

I mean only of your Immediate "Biological" parents, you WOULDN'T add in their parents or anything.

You would not include anything before that level of the Family tree.

Ergo consistently having either:
<Your Name> <Father-Mother> or <Your Name> <Mother-Father>
Whichever one sounds better.

That's what I meant by "<Your Name> <Father/Mother>-<Father/Mother>"

I didn't mean to keep including previous generations.

It was always meant to be a 3 name system.

Plus, nobody want to know when they are banging their 3rd cousin.

Oh, you mean their personal name not their family name?

Yeah, that means the concept of "Unique Last Names" would go away.

Imagine even caring just a little bit about this

I wouldn't mind for my girlfriend, her initials are AAA and I think that's kind of cool... Better than being AAK.
---

I think that's ok. My last name looks like its pronounced like the "C" word. I feel bad already myself, no need to drag her down with me. lol

One interesting solution would be the kid keeps the last name of the parent of their gender.
---

I couldn't care less.

Antonio Villaraigosa (former mayor of LA, current CA gubernatorial candidate) combined his name and his ex-wife's name: Villa + Raigosa

I've also known people who both took a new last name. So they had the same last name after marriage, but it was new to both of them.
---

my wife kept her last name
it has literally never been an issue

if we decide to have kids, and we're both iffy on that right now, we did end up saying they'd have my last name
---

cool with that

not a fan of hyphenated last names though. can split up the last names for the kids if we had any.

Your potential future kids should have their last name be the first names of both the biological <Father's First Name-Mother's First Name> or <Mother's First Name - Father's First Name>

What do you think?

This. The kids either get my last name or hyphenated, end of story.

Otherwise, I don't really care.

What do you think?

I hate hyphenated last names and judge the fuck out of people with them

she's cheating on you

Why?

Most Koreans do this in Korea soooo I guess she's Korean

That's standard practice in many places.

I don't even want my last name.

So are you going to just have 1 name?
No First or Last, just a name?

Why?

it looks messy and can screw with official forms and procedures. I have a friend with a hyphenated last name and she missed her flight because her ticket didn't match her passport because of the way the airline handled it. and on half of her stuff they just cut the second part of her last name off anyway, so she might as well have just had her dads last name
it's all minor issues and she wasn't screwed over constantly, but it did happen until she got married and took a simple last name and suddenly these problems went away and she never had to worry about how the hyphen would interact with a database or wondering if it would fit in a standardized form

it's just a load of bother. last names aren't important to me, so the idea of compromising so you share each others name or your kids have both of your names is absurd to me
plus what happens if they marry someone else who does that, they're gonna have 4 last names with hyphens? it'd be so tacky

obviously you do you, I don't really "judge the fuck out of people" but it's not really for me. I have two middle names and I hate that I constantly am having to pick just one for forms and the like
my wife is venezuelan and so technically she has a bunch of last names, but legally she is only FirstName MiddleName LastName

America really needs to modernize their systems to be able to accept more than just that.
---

women should always take the last name of their husband

Taking the husband's last name is something that doesn't happen in my country, and honestly sounds kinda absurd. So, yeah, no downside.
