Did you take your husband's name?

[M&M's Mommy]

I kept my last name. It's not in our culture for the wives to take their husbands' last names. The kids, of course, will have their father's last name.
I know I got married when we both lived in the U.S., where changing last name is common for most wives, but I wanted to keep with my culture by not changing . My husband, of course, didn't mind a bit - for it's his culture, too. None of the wives in our extended families changed their names, so I'm not the only one..

I took my husbands name. Back in those days most women did. I don't have a problem with it.
Lut, that's interesting how they do it where you live.

I kept my maiden name when we married. Having different names doesn't make us any less of a 'family'. In our faith, girls don't change their last name. All people, whether male or female, have the last name of their father for life. My husband didn't mind...in fact, he also prefers it this way. We do plan on having children, and when we do, God-willingly, they will have their daddy's last name, as the tradition goes.
