Some of the many species Jeffrey Combs has evolved into:
Women, don’t marry men who won’t take your name. That’s a wall of separation he wants to keep between you. It won’t be the only one.
And don’t marry a man who insists you take his. That’s a wall of control he’s building around you and he won’t stop until he’s separated you from everyone and everything you love. Marry the man who accepts it’s your choice to decide, along with every other decision about yourself.
I took my wife’s name when we got married. I hate my family and intended to change my last name anyway. Her family is awesome. It was an easy choice.
There are lots of reasons for women to keep their maiden name. In the case of my wife, she had two good ones:
-
She didn’t want to become disassociated from her scientific publications.
-
She didn’t want to complicate or redo any immigration paperwork.
Also some names just sound better. And some names go better than others with some surnames

Who’s a pedophile?
No no it’s PDF file (I know the second file is redundant but that is the trend on YouTube to not get demonetised).
Edit: I got curious and it turns out the file isn’t redundant as the F is for format. Portable Document Format. TIL
My wife just didn’t want to change hers, so I changed mine instead. No need for a particular reason.

My wife didn’t change her last name because we both forgot about it in the timeframe where it was easy to do and now we don’t want to putz with it. 🤷
I also still don’t have a wedding ring. We just had our sixth anniversary a few days ago.
My fiance and I are considering creating a brand new last name that we both take.
It’s fiancée. Fiancé is male.
I’m more surprised that he took the time to use an accent mark. Either a copy-paste to make sure he got it right, or lots of extra time changing his keyboard back and forth.
Or you know. The phone just auto corrects fiancée correctly.
