Hahaha
I'm trying to convince him to change our surnames and keep both, but dobble barred. I'm not changing mine for his, for sure, but I want our kids to have both, like in Spain.

Spanish name conventions
are pretty awesome. Wouldn't work well in English, mind.

Because you're still keeping those misoginistic (?) laws
I like the way both surnames are kept in Spain. I'm not losing mine, and it's going to be pass to my kids for sure. I carry them in my belly, I give birth to them, but now daddy gives his family name to the family. No way!

I'm happy to make her happy
But it's a bit old school and unfair, eh? The fact that as a woman, you go from being the daughter of Mr Smith to the wife of Mr Roberts. Very, very unfair.

And the kids are more mine than his, so they'll have my surname for sure!

totally agree with this
I wouldn't change my name on marriage.

Well done!
As we're marrying in Spain it won't be even a question (in fact, they're asking him why he's got only 1 surname, not 2)

A colleague of mine took his wife's name when they married
because he's Danish and he has a very common surname they were encouraged by the authorities to help diversify the pool of surnames in Denmark a bit. It confuses things when most people in the country have one of about three surnames.

That's a lot of surnames
We only keep 2

Oh?
I read somewhere that it was Given Name, Second Given Name, Parental Surname 1, Parental Surname 2 and sometimes the town or region was tacked on, too. I quite like the idea of having a huge flowery name, but British names aren't often all that great on the ear.

Oh, well, if you're going to go posh
You can have tons of names. The given names of one of the princes here is Felipe Juan Froilán de Todos los Santos (that's without surname)

We usually go for 1 given name and 2 surnames.
