LOL you are right, Sam Adams!!
When I married Mr. RooRoo I knew I wanted to take his name. I didnt want a two word hyphenated last name either.
Later, after we were married, I learned from Mr. RooRoo that if I had not been willing to take his name, he would have called the wedding off. It was a deal-breaker.
Good thing I made the right choice LOL.
The wife should always take the surname of the husband. It's not a "male superiority" thing. Not only is it tradition but it allows for a cleaner family tree and there is no controversy over what the children's surname will be.
Besides, the woman insisting on keeping her maiden name is only perpetuating the name of her father. More patriarchy! Don't they see the irony in that?
