In a lot of Anglo cultures/communities, which most of you are from so this won't be a surprise, wives take their husbands' last names. In queer couples, they sometimes do it sometimes one takes the other etc. Even in hetero cultures, occasionally the husband takes the wifes' last name (very rare). In Quebec and France and probably a bunch of other Franco places, it's not legal to take your spouses last name lol. Best you can do is double barrel.
I have NO attachment to my last name. It's from my dad, who was and remains an asshole. But I wanna be a good strong feminist and also not buy into this Anglo tradition ๐ญ At least it's not an actual problem, I am at no risk of getting married anytime soon lol but I would be tempted to take my future spouses last name just to cut off that last bit of my dad.
When I changed my name after transitioning I also switched to my mom's last name because ~~it's prettier~~ i'm a principled feminist
I thought about it, but I wasn't all that attached to my mom's name either (she switched to her maiden name after the divorce) and at the time I was more in line with "well fuck my dad anyway I don't want him to define me by negation either." But now I just wanna run away from it lol
You can always make up a new last name and have it be ~~stalin~~ steel
