Asking Men If They Would Take A Woman's Surname

- In what experts have described as a 'growing trend', over a third (35 per cent) of UK men would take their partner’s last name after marriage.
It comes as almost one in five brides (16 per cent) say they wouldn’t want to change their name when tying the knot. So we hit the streets to ask men and women how they feel about taking or giving up their surnames.

Almost spat out my ben n jerrys when the guy said only if you peg me. My parents kept their own surnames (when it was a lot less normal to do so) and I've got my mum's last name. I'd just want whichever last name sounds better :P
Couldn't think of anything I care less about in life than a surname. I'll keep mine and you keep yours. Family is about flesh and blood, not a fkin name.

@@marshmallowsmars I frankly can't understand why anyone would care about taking/giving surnames enough to type out all this into a youtube comment that no one will read in its entirity...
@@Jojo.R.Chipelago why at have a tradition right. Why people care so much about passing names as some put it’s important for men to pass on names
@@marshmallowsmars people place importance on all sorts of ideas that aren't worth the time of day. Tradition for tradition's sake is tantamount to stagnation - that's why no one is walking around today worshiping the pagan gods. We don't retain every tradition that ever existed, because a lot of traditions are no longer meaningful.
@@Jojo.R.Chipelago all I’m saying is a man taking female is surname is sweet too that it should become a norm.
3:22. “Things have always been this way, so why bother changing?”
Great video.
Really? Who cares what a couple decide to do between themselves? I'm sure most people are "sure, if you want to?" Some people are gagging to change their name and it's an excuse.
When my wife and I were planning our marriage I wasn't bothered either way - she could keep her name, take mine or we could double barrel both together - there's more important things to think about anyway, like the relationship, the joint future, careers, children, pets, etc
At the time, I was proud enough of my family I wanted to keep mine - now I've seen some of the skeletons in the closet, I want to change it and if I'd known 20+ years ago, I'd probably have taken hers.
Spoken like a true c*ck
Traditions usually happen when something that's really sensible, happens repeatedly over many hundreds of years.
Most men want to feel respected, more than anything else. Most women want to feel an emotional connection - a sense of belonging and values the social side of marriage more than a man.
So that's what's happened - an orderly system's fallen into place where everyone's happy.
Until now. Traditions are being challenged in the name of fairness and everyone's confused. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter whether the wife takes on the man's name or not. What's important is the surname the kids choose to keep. So what are the options?
- default to the dad's
- default to the mum's?
- a mixture of both? Not a long term solution
- the parent with the best name?
- the dominant parent, as in the parent who insists the kids have their name?
Then more men taking wife’s last name should become a thing . To become one family under name , sweet gesture towards your wife , and respect . The same meaning as to why a society wants a woman to a man’s name . The same exact reasons. Thus , we should see the other way around more often . It is not weird or shouldn’t be. If it comes to who is the dominant one , female led relationships are enjoyable too. Gender roles shouldn’t be fixed . I wish to have a generation who are not taught patriarchal beliefs and certainly who are not ingrained in patriarchal religions . Every individual and family dynamics should be different and have thier own preferences, so I want to see the day when no gender roles or religions are forced upon young boys and girls rather let them choose their roles and beliefs (through thier desires , wants; and needs). Only promoting male led or having that as the only norm is very unhealthy; toxic , and bad. You should not have only one dynamic . We should have a society where all dynamics are accepted and possibility to have. Female led or woman being head of the household is also beautiful. Some men do like that and some women too. So it’s not correct to indoctrinate/force a society to have that of one dynamic . with that do respect , wedding customs and traditions must also take anew place.
I wouldn't take a woman's surname, but neither would I care if she doesn't want to take mine. Ideally the children would take the father's surname, but even then it's not the end of the world if they don't.
