What matters most is peace, happiness and unity between you guys. And all that can be achieved if you find someone who sees things the way you do.


So if you change name or not, there will be zero consequences as long as the above is met. If not keeping name won’t help you guys.

My sister didnt chage her name, she isnt a celebrity or something like that. Shes been married for 7 years now nothing do her.
Her kids doesnt bear her husband's original surname too, his Christian name is their surname.
I believe the process of having to change name on all your vital documents too wouldn't be easy.
And if you're not dangote or otedola, what value will your surname add to your wife? There are women that cannot afford to cut their fathers name off because they have done a great deal for themselves with that name.

When I am about to marry, I will make it beautifully clear to her that she would keep her past behind her and if there is anything she wants me to drop too....



We will talk about that....



Las Las make money...



Na poverty go make lady tell u all these.....

When u make money....


... If u propose to her she will roll on the floor and serve u like a God

Fountainofyouth:



With all your ranting like a kid, you still went off topic, what has poverty got to do with change of name?

Omoluabi16:
Lemme get this straight. Her kids bear their daddy's first name, their daddy bears his family surname, while their mom bears her maiden name. 3 different last names?

Vyzz:






Everything sister



No woman would refuse to pick up the name of a wealthy man




The thought of answer Mrs Zuckerberg or Bezos or gate only will make any woman cum

bukatyne:


If you are addressing the family, you are still referring to them as the family of 'husband's surname'.

If you are not involved in any paper work with them, how would you know what their surname is?

Fountainofyouth:



What is the significance of changing to husband's name? Give a valid reason.

addictiv:
It all boils down to money and power. Whenever you hear this kind of talk just know that the woman's family is wealthier than the man. If the man is richer, she won't even think about it... Infact she ll quarrel with anybody who is telling her not to adopt his name

My People,

My wife never dropped her maiden name for mine.

It was our collective decision considering the stress attached to it as Africans and Diasporan's.

But what I don't understand here is "Are the women trying to impose it on men in this age"?

Listen, we are Africans at last.

I once told a frustrated African Feminist that if she doesn't want to bear her husbands name or Kneel for him on the day of their traditional Marriage as she has decided, then she should tell her parents not to demand for a bride price on her wedding day.

And she should live up to her decisions of being a feminist by splitting the marriage bill, living expenses and mortgages into 2 equal parts. Because that's the reality of true Feminism.

Guess what? She couldn't speak any further.

Cheers!

Women that bears their husbands name do spilt bills too. I dont think this has anything to do with bearing his surname or not.

bukatyne:
1. You change some (NOT ALL) of your documents

2. Equality . You bear your father's surname which is already unequal to your mom. Besides, you and your husband gain new identities after marriage with his surname. Besides, you are automatically Mrs. Y if you marry Mr. Y.

3. If all a woman would be known as is 'Mummy Lagbaja', what does she need a surname for?

Impatient to go to your blog and copy out the text here.

The consequences? If you and your husband-to-be agree you don't change your surname, whose business is it?

Do you think you are doing something novel if you don't change your name?

Biko, wake up and smell the coffee.

rockstarB:

Your point 2 makes me remember Yvonne jegede. In her bid to appear like a woke modern woman, she made her son bear her ex husband's surname and also her dad's surname in her mind, the boy is also bearing her name, she has forgotten the name 'jegede' is her fathers name and not her own.
She could have just named him Xavier Yvonne fawole
