Changing last names

Bino85 · 11-07-2013, 10:25 AM

Ever since I can remember I have always wanted to keep my last name. It was not my fathers name, but my Grandfathers. I do not have a common last name, I am very proud of it's meaning and where it came from. Growing up it was and still is part of my identity. There are no other men in my family to carry on my families name and almost all the women have a different last name. It's out of respect for my Grandfather and my family that I would never change my last name. I also intend to share my last name with my children, but that is for both parents to decide. As for my partners willingness to share my last name that would be up to her and would not be a condition of marriage. Although in my heart I would like to have my family all share one name.

These are just my personal thoughts. I am not saying they are right. They are just right for me
