I'm struggling to get my head around an argument I keep hearing.
I'm married and kept my name.
I read a lot of threads on here that say basically "it's not your own name anyway its your fathers, so why don't you drop it and take your husbands"
But by that argument my husbands name isn't his own, it's HIS fathers. So if I'm choosing between my father's name, or my father-in-law's name of course my preference is for my father! He's my family, my dad!
If i'm choosing between my name or husbands name then of course my preference is for my name.
It's not comparing like-for-like to say my names my dads, but DH's name is his.
Does anyone know why people use this stupid argument because it does my head it!
