    I’m pretty sure only people on the internet argue about this. No one actually cares what other’s do with their last name after marriage.

    This post has 2017 reddit vibes. Not in a good way either.

      Well, reddit turned to shit around 2014, so the fact it still sucked around 2017 can’t be a surprise?

      People definitely care, but not about which side of the family or if it comes from mommy or daddy. Most people just want an “original” name.

      People literally change their names because they feel like it, so I’m sure people do care outside the Internet, specially in circumstances of abuse.

    Yeah, my mom said she didn’t care about taking my dad’s last name, that it didn’t matter since, in her words “women don’t have last names anyway” they are just a way of tracing men’s family lines.

    If you didn’t know, Spanish people have two names: the first name of their father and the first name of their mother.

    Since these names are their grandfathers names, here’s a better proposal : the first name of your father and the second name of your mother. In that case, your first name corresponds to a bloodline of men and your second name to a bloodline of women… Unless their was a same-sex couple in your family, obviously.

    Bonus point, since you get your Y chromosome (if you have one) from your biological father and your mitochondrial DNA from your biological mother, your names correspond to your actual DNA… Unless you’re adopted or illegitimate, obviously.

      You can actually chose to have them reverted (mother first, father second). Also, the wife does not take the husband’s surname.
