Last Names

My last name sounds silly, so I don't want it to be in a hyphenated name.

Keeping our own last names is what I prefer.

However, I'm willing to compromise if he wants otherwise.

 

I'd like to keep me. Unless he had a really cool last name, then I'd take his

 

I'd hyphenate, as I think my name would work pretty well with my future partner's name.

 

I would love to combine my name with my partner(s) name(s)

 

Same sex marriage is not legal where I live. In other countries however, I see no reason why this cannot be left to personal choice after a mutual understanding between both parties.

Kabuki and I talked about this. :icon_bigg Since I really like his last name, we'll take that one, and then add my last name after it (we're not planning on using a hyphen, a space will suffice). For him, as he has two last names, the last one will be replaced by my last name. For me, there will be his last name before mine. :icon_bigg

 

If I were to get married, I'd like to keep my name... and she could keep hers. Unless she really wanted my name, or I thought she had a really cool last name (like Skywalker or something. I would definitely take Skywalker).
I'm used to my name, don't particularly want to switch, and hyphenating would give an overlong ugly monster in my case.

 

I'd probably want to hyphenate or take their surname, which is considered odd, for a male.

 

i think you would just talk it over with them, unless you wanted a hyphenated last name.

 

Like some others have said I'm not too keen on the idea of marriage. But if I do, it would depend on her name and what she wants. I probably wouldn't mind changing mine. I have no real attachment to it. In fact, I would kinda like to have a cool new last name.

 

Same. Unless the guy has an even worse last name of course LOL

 

It all depends on what happens when I come out as trans to my family. If they react negatively then I'd never keep their name, but if they're accepting then I'd consider unless my wife has a awesome name.

 

I have a fussy last name. It wouldn't look right hyphenated . I would perfer if we just kept our last names. Although, if he were passionate enough, I'd possibly take his last name. I don't know, it's difficult. I'm the only son in my family.

It's hard to talk about being single. :lol:

 

We'd discuss that, if or when the time arose.

As for my last name, I quite like it. It's fairly short (only a whopping 5 letters!), sounds elegant-enough, and makes me feel important. It's something better explained in more detail, but the point is, I like my last name. It isn't the best, mind you, but it ain't difficult to tack onto somebody else's either.

 

I don't know if I'd want to marry but I'd keep my name.

 

I'd want to hyphenate ideally. But if it sounds too weird, I wouldn't really mind taking her last name

 

Leave them both unchanged. Not having kids

 

Before I figured out that I was gay I was certain that my future husband would take my last name aha.

But I dunno. My last name has a lot of pronunciation issues, so I'd be more inclined to take theirs. However, I think it would be really cool if we both took our mother's maiden names and did something with that.

 

I would never change mine and I would rather they kept their own too.
