I wouldn't do that; my Wife and my Child (If I ever have either) will carry my name - Yeah....I'm old fashioned !

You should be tele transported to 17th century.

They gotta watch out. it is not good to do experimentations with sons. Sons should be given a very traditional structure to grow up with. They are much weaker than daughters and thus can easily get lost about their self, and their sexuality. if you know what I mean.

Lol
Gotcha!!
But you know there're many men around who already use their mother's name like the famous director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. (Indian director of movies like Devdas, khamooshi, Black etc)

Surnames are practically outdated and effectively redundant. They identify a person according to their place of origin (mostly western) or caste or village. The recent trend in the west (and my extremely liberal Indian family ) is for the wife to retain her surname and for the children to assume both parents' surnames. Hence my kid has the surname Thakur - ***** . My brother will give the surname Patel - ****** to his kids. My female cousin has given the surname *****- Khan to her kids. Point is that the mother's surname comes first with the father's following. Names are very important and so are surnames. I recall that when I bought a pet bulldog for my kid a few months ago, I wanted to name our pet "Thakur" after my father-in-law since the dog's posture and frown reminded me so much of him. I rushed home to my wife and excitedly told her that I was extending her family name a step further in our family. I gave up on that idea after my wife threatened to burn me alive whilst I was asleep. Ungrateful woman

I'm surprised that your wifey didn't get you hospitalised for what you suggested her.

off course if you want your sons to emulate hollywood and bollywood. That's the way to go.

When he brings home John and puts a ring on his finger,

then don't come to me complaining.

p.s. J/K./ I am sure your sons will be manly men.

I knew it...I had read it on one of his interviews.

Women should not change their surname after marriage... I will strictly say no to my partner for any change in her surname, if she insists then we will mutually add each others surname.....
Our kids will have surname of both of us....

You could be right; I don't believe in complete Equality between the two genders....I believe in Equity i.e Equal in Value !

If that makes me a male chauvinist confined to the 17th Century - Than thats what I am !

 

[osama zafar]

My Wife also kept her surname.. She just changed her surname in facebook may be to console me..

Lol ur wife trolled you

Equity??
Don't search for accounts and finance in a relationship. It's not a one time investment!!

Btw what exactly would equity in a relationship mean??

 

[terry5]

In my Culture the wife keeps her name ,but the children get fathers name ,the Son gets the same surname as me & the daughter gets my first name as her surname

It suits western societies because instead of marriage people mostly prefer live-in relationship these days.If it doesn't work out it's less troublesome when you get separated and children adopt their prefered family name.

Don't people identify households based on the dudes family name in the so called west like Dodd's,Higginbotham's etc.

In Pakistan, almost across the country, that kind of a husband would be kicked out onto the streets even before the ink on the marriage certificate has dried !

Such men are looked down upon in our society !

But if you look into it in another way,in my place,it will be the husband who will be supporting the entire wife's family. He will practically be the 'elder son' to the wife's home. If the wife has got younger sisters,husband will cover a good part of her marriage expenses.
