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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

Come on man, at the very least be a hyphenate. Taking her last name is just not an option.

I kept my name (last male in family line). Wife kept her name (only has a sister, so, end of her family name, plus she's a professional who is known by that name). Daughter is hyphenated. Keep them both going. I'm aiming for her to keep her name, but really it's no big deal. People should worry about more important things.

Your family = assholes. Sorry you have to deal with them. You're not the first husband to take his wife's name. That shows you are confident and not bound by retarded traditions. A big middle finger to your neanderthal family from me.

Wow. Sexist much? There's nothing wrong at all with that decision. Besides, it's a sweet gesture, and also your choice to make. They have no right to judge you.

I understand that people have their own opinions about this topic, but, even as a female only child who is dating one of three brothers, if he ever wanted to do something like take my last name I would laugh at him. It's a nice gesture, and very progressive, but it's definitely not for everybody.
