A third of married women keep their maiden names

That doesn't surprise me.
Does anybody else find women with hyphenated names to be at least a little pretentious?

simple case of wanting the perceived good parts of marriage (husband,security etc), without the negative parts, like submitting to your husband.
my girlfriend said she wanted to keep her maiden name if we got married.
I said, "cool, you dont have to take my name, and we dont have to get married"
That was the end of that conversation

I gave a cousin of mine shit for keeping hers and she basically confessed it was to honour her alpha father. Also gave her massive crap for her copies of 50 Shades of Shame that it's proof that her hubby is not dominant enough to give up her maiden name and not to worry because it's our secret. Just in case if and when i might need a favor, lollz.

What I find even more disgusting is the beta herbs taking / appending their wife's name to their own last name. Talk about pathetic!

I understand if a woman has a professional reputation under her maiden name. Also, some women will publicly adopt their husband's name, but keep all of their identification under their maiden name.

I had a coach when I was in high school (USNA grad, flew jets, operated his own business when he left the service). He told me when he proposed to his wife she immediately demanded she keep her own name after she said yes. He closed up the ring box and walked away in front of a group of people. She immediately relented and decided to take his name.
The shit tests never end.

I'd love to see the stats broken out by age at marriage. Eg, What percent of women marrying at ages 21-25 keep their name, vs. 26-30 or 31-35?
We'd probably all bet that the women who get married older take their husband's name less.

Seems disrespectful to not take your husband's name. I would think a girl was playing if she said she was going to keep hers.

I don't believe any girl in her right mind , who has spent enough time with me.
Would work up the courage to ask such a question.

I think I would rather a wife just keep her own name than hyphenate mine. But I doubt I'd even date that kind of woman.
My ex is going back to her maiden name after the divorce. I told her that's fine, but the children keep my name.

This is one bone of contention of mine that i don't relent on. My future wife will take my last name and i wouldn't go through with the marriage otherwise.
It personally shows how much comitement the woman has towards the relationship.
I'd close the box up and walk away too. Ultimate FU to the hamster.

Before my sister got married she told my dad that she was thinking she would keep her last name. My dad told her "thats fine but everyone will think your husband is a pussy."
She took his last name.

Women always keep their surnames in the Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries, and children inherit two surnames, one of each parent; if a couple has the same surname it's kind of shameful, since everybody thinks they are cousins.
I wonder how much of this issue in the USA has to do with Latin immigration.

They are still keeping their father's name. The patriarchy lives!

When I was younger, I always thought if I get married no discussion the wife gets my last name. Now I see how shit marriages are, no woman deserves my last name unless I get married abroad. My children would have my name of course but if I fuck around and want to marry an American woman, she can keep her last name so when we divorce it will be less of a hassle.
I don't think I can marry an American anymore anyway. After experiencing Mexican, Brazilian Thai and even Belizean women, why would I want to marry an American? Maybe fresh of the boat. Maybe.

I hope not to sound like a shit head but who cares when you die? Most probably know their family history up to 3 generations. Does your last name really mean something. I understand if you come from money, had a reputation, owned a business, but beyond that who fucking cares. Last names meant something up until the fifties. Once people moved away from their communities shit dont matter. You think your teacher thought, he's a Thompson his family is great". Maybe that is true for small town but nowadays who cares. Like I said, American bops and keep their shitty last name. For the 25-35 players out there how many relationships you know of within your age group looks like it may last passed ten years?
Marriage is for family building or wealth building. Companionship is on longer number one. If you dont want any kids and make 60-100k already, why would you get married. Maybe in your fifties but anytime before is not worth it. I think that why we are only 1-5% of the population. International playboys arent built for it.
Apologize for the rant. Sunday funday twisted.
