Women who retain their father's name after marriage. (Page 8)

its not me ooooo...its Dguy!!!!!!!!

huh?...lol what thats? is that some kinda trade or something? are u buying ur wife that she has to cut off every link with her and her family.

The changing of a woman's last name because of marriage only makes sense when operating under the law "that a woman is a piece of a man's real estate".... as women were once considered....but today women rights have evolved ten fold since then and women now have the right to decide whether they will take on their husbands name....

@erikaakpan babe i'm not saying i won't change...i'm only saying i can add my maiden name...but Geez!!!
Your maiden name is a REPRESENTATION of where u came from. It links u to ur heritage and family members from years gone by. Taking on a new name can align u to a new heritage and family and some may unnecessarily feel distanced from their own ancestry.

when i came into this world i was given a first name as a form of individual identity and a last name as a shared identity with blood ties.

That is why for me d idea of retaining my individuality makes it very difficult to hand over as part of d contract of matrimony.

for me it's like an act of slavery and oppression on a woman as a wife, who becomes a possession rather being a person in a working partnership of two... with one taking the lead and the other complimenting and completing

@toks-E pls tell him
