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

Same thing different taste
Unreasonable
Today, my father-in-law decided to disown myself and his son, because my husband decided to hyphenate his last name. FML
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 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
Today, it was my wedding day. When my soon-to-be-husband was saying his vows, he didn't say my name. He said his mother's. FML
Feminism is when you keep your name?
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

The patriarchy rules
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, I got married. When my father gave me away, in front of hundreds of people, to my groom, he said, "She's your problem now." FML
Romance in Appalachia

Not to sound rude, but please spare your child the fate of having a double last name. There are alot of them where I live, and although the idea behind it is cute, it just sounds awful and is annoying to write.

I would love to have a name as funny as that. Heck, I wish my last name was "Focker" or somthing.

You don't necessarily have to do what he says... But it would be pretty damn bad ass.

He doesn't decide what you do in your life. I wouldn't ask. Either they accept your decision, or they aren't invited.

Lots of name stories. When I was born my brother named me after Casey, the blonde who wears a hockey mask, from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And my younger sister is Sarah Lee.

Don't hyphenate dummy, just keep your maiden name. You don't need your husband's name you know.
