See the thing is I don’t want my grandfather’s name cited in my research I’d much rather have the name of a man I chose and love if I gotta have a man’s last name cited. And at the end of the day. Your maiden name is still a man’s name.

my husband is taking my last name. even if we are married when he decided he wants to pursue education, i would want him to have all his accomplishments written in his own name if he wants. i dont understand why men who have that mindset are still so hard to find.

I struggle with this so hard bc I don’t like our names hyphenated but I don’t want HIS name on my medical degree but some things were more difficult growing up with a mom with a different last name than me, she always had to prove she was my mom and had her name changed. Which like I totally get for safety but it was just an annoying hoop to jump thru all the time and I don’t want to deal w that w my kids. Ugh❤️‍🩹

I get the point but I didn’t take my partners last name because mine is just way cooler. His is a very basic short name and mine is a long pretty German one. Your last name is from a man either way just pick one you like lmao.
