tbh (as a woman) i think it’s weird that men expect women to take their names. hyphenating seems like the best approach

i think we should create a new last name that is more unique than either of our names

I love my last name and dont wanna change it, and i would also never expect her to change hers so we can just keep our respective names

She would have to have a really really good last name for me to change mine

Not really a big deal, I would take hers. But it also depends what it is...I'm not changing my surname to Butts 😶

Yeah, same. I’m keeping my last name if I get married, unless they have something fun like Dover. My mom kept her maiden name when she got married and it’s no big deal at all.
