No, my parents didn’t take each others names, I want to add theirs to mine. Start a tradition of just extending names

No, but I wouldn’t want her to take my last name either. My parents kept their last names when they married, and gave me a hyphenated last name that I take a lot of pride in.

I am Jewish but have a gentile last name, so I’d leap on the chance to be a goldberg etc

If I had children they could have their mothers surname bc she gave birth to them or we could hyphenate

Well it’s more normal for women to take their partners name. Like I can’t even name any couples who that follow for in my family. So I thought that there’d at least be some people who were willing

That kind of matrilineal culture isn’t common outside of Judaism
