Women do not need to have a single reason as to why they don’t want to change their name. 👏🏻 it’s a double standard in society. Hyphenating can be a great fit for people to keep their identity and include their partner. But at the end of the day, marrying someone doesn’t mean a woman should be expected to give up her identity. It’s such a complicated issue for no reason. Imagine if the roles were reversed

My mom has been married for 42 years and never changed her name. I've been married for 11 years and never changed my name. It's a feminist thing for me. Our kids have my husband's name. Never been a problem. No one cares. Normalize all married last name choices. ❤

The name change conversation grosses me out. My mom never changed her name and she and my dad are married over 30 years and they had three kids, it's not a problem at all. It is a vestige of the patriarchy, as evidenced by Nick's reaction to taking Natalie's name. Live your life how you want, but don't act like it's soooo much more complicated as a family to have the mom keep her name.

No way they will directly address it though.

Married 11 years, we have our first daughter, still not changing my last name. I find no point. We are married, we are a family, why does a last name need to also be changed to prove that? So far no issues. If people want to call us by my husbands last name I don’t care. But legally I’m still me. Totally understand the identity part that the caller mentioned. My last name is me. He fell in love with me. Also he doesn’t have the biggest connection with his father with whom he got his last name from, I have a huge relationship with my dad. Why change to change? If you want to then awesome, if you don’t then awesome as well. Personally I am seeing it become more normal for a woman to not change her last name.

8:53 in Latin America we use both last names. Dad’s first mom’s second. As the daughter gets married she adds husbands name followed by dads and drops moms last name. So really the moms/woman’s always gets dropped.

@princessjenn93 10 күн бұрын

My mom always kept both her paternal and maternal last names after she married my dad! I have both their last names and intend to keep them when I get married. My kids (if I have any) will have my husband’s last name and my paternal last name. Unfortunately it’d be way too long to give them both of my last names 😂

I hear the call outs y’all have about hyphenating names. However, not everyone goes into it trying to be a “Karen” or “prove a point” sometimes it is sentimental. I hyphenated. But I go by my husbands last name on everything and our children go by just his last name. It was just something for me and sentimental to myself for my family. I did not ask him to take the name too. So just putting that out there, just so we don’t generalize people who do that.

@janecooney9156 2 күн бұрын

It comes down to this. If the guy is not willing to change his name to hers, he has no right to ask her to change her name to his. The tradition of changing names is rooted in possession and a time when women were property of their husband, not an equal partner, and if that connotation bothers you, you should not be forced to change your name. I am a bit sentimental, and when I married the first time, I changed my name. When I divorced and changed my name back to my maiden name it felt like coming home to my real identity. When I married the second time, I kept my name. I've been married for 20 years, have 2 kids, and have had no issues. If someone calls me Mrs. Husbandsname, I do not get angry - I love my husband and kids, and that is their name. But I also liked it when people made a point of using the correct name because it helps kids understand that there are options.

I think I have some good insight on nick’s suggestion for the name compromise. At most companies, you cannot keep your non-legal last name “socially” (or really in this context, professionally) because your work name will follow your legal name on your W2. I tried to keep my maiden name at work & it was changed because legally, per my tax documents, my name had changed. I’m not sure if there was an opportunity to push back to retain my old email- to be so fair, I did not try. It wasn’t a huge deal to me personally. Thought that might be helpful to the writer-in-er!

First writer inner should not change their name and i want them to know they don’t have to even explain themselves! It’s an antiquated tradition that you do not have to take part in. I planned to just add on a second last name after I got married, but then when it came time to do it I just didn’t want to. I am very close to my family and consider them to be a huge part of my identity. I have degrees and childhood reasons for wanting to keep my name too but none of that even mattered when I realized I simply don’t want to change it. I do want kids though so not sure what I’ll do when that time comes.

I work in the medical field and the last name thing can be a mess. People forget they used a hyphenated name or they forget which name they used/use. They are under one name for their insurance and another name with the doctor. In addition to another name on their license. It becomes too complicated and frustrating.

All birth certificates use the mother’s maiden name regardless. Because my husband and I were married and I had officially changed my name but my maiden name is still listed on our children’s birth certificates. Which I think is kind of cool because my kids can always see my maiden name. I live in Pennsylvania, so maybe it’s different in other states?

@madibailey7392 11 күн бұрын

Justin’s solution would make more sense as a 2 last name situation. Like instead of Lois Lane-Bartholomew, it’s Lois Lane Bartholomew. Hyphenating creates 1 new name and you can’t use either or.

My mom had her her last name hyphenated in the early 80s because her parents are Dutch she did not want to give up her last name, I loved it growing up and I wish I had both names and not just my dad‘s name.. Have any an issue with two last names is such an American culture issue in other countries it’s extremely normal to have both parents last names because it’s a joining of two families

I feel like Nick completely ignored the feelings of the caller with the nasty grandma. His whole advice was based on the assumption that grandma is always rude because of trauma she faced. Drawing conclusions on assumptions doesn’t work and people don’t have a right to treat others poorly because they had past trauma. Sometimes people are just awful, nasty people and they don’t deserve to be in your life. Grandmas don’t get a free pass to act horribly because they are old.
