Today, I told my family that I wanted to change my last name to my future wife's. We want to have the same last name, and we chose hers because she is an only child, while I have three brothers. Half of my family is laughing and calling me "pussy whipped" while the other half won't speak to me. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my boyfriend asked me to marry him, saying that the only thing he would change about me is my last name. I later told him that I wanted to keep my last name after the marriage. I'm now single again. FML
Today, I got married. After the ceremony, my sister asked to talk to me. I followed her and she told me that we are no longer related because we don't have the same last name anymore. FML
Today, I’m getting married. My friends are all telling me that I’m not a “true feminist” since I’ve opted to change my last name to his. My last name is “Belcher.” FML
Today, I was talking to a new friend when I told him my last name. It’s hyphenated. He then left and declared me to be a "stuck-up bitch" who thinks she’s "too good to take a man’s last name." This is the name I was born with. FML
Today, my wife told me the main reason she married me is because I have a cool last name. FML
Today, my boyfriend said that he doesn't have to marry me because we coincidentally have the same last name. FML
Today, for what seems like the thousandth time, one of my new friends has cut me out of their life after I told them my last name. It’s hyphenated and I’m a woman, which means I'm “automatically” a stuck-up bitch. I'm not married, I was born with this last name. FML
Today, my father gave me his blessing to be married on one condition: that I keep my maiden name when I marry. My fiancé thought it would be "epic". My last name will be hyphenated to Cobb-Webb. FML
Today, my wife changed her name back to her maiden name. Why? So people would stop asking questions about us. We have been married for 15 years. FML
Today, my father-in-law decided to disown myself and his son, because my husband decided to hyphenate his last name. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Ignore all of the haters OP, it takes a real man to dare to challenge gender stereotypes and I have a lot of admiration for you. The whole idea of a women taking her husband's name is a hold-out from the days when it was pretty much a sign of ownership, nowadays most people do it out of tradition; Not that I have any issue with the tradition, but as it doesn't hold the same connotation as it use to, their is no reason a man can't take his wife's name.

It's wrong! When god made adam and eve he let Adam choose the nake for her which he decided to be "woman" stated in the book of genesis... Flame on :-)

In this day and age, why are people even concerned with your choice? There's all kinds of options for name-changing after marriage now.
