Would my fiance appreciate me taking his name?

I can’t read his mind, honey.

Some men insist on it. Some prefer it. Some don’t care.

And some, like my husband, take the woman’s name.

Some couple create a whole new name.

So ask him and you’ll know for sure.

This is about YOU – not about how your fiance feels about it. If you want to keep your name, keep it. If you instead want to hyphenate it, do so. It sounds from your question that you do not want to drop your name in favor of his. Then don’t.

If he is an American born man where it is traditional for the wife to take his name I can guarantee you that he would “appreciate” it. Very few men just flat out don’t give a crap. The majority of men that do care wont admit it because they don’t want to be stuck with a negative label.

Almost certainly.

I personally think hyphenated names are dumb.

Yes.

Hyphenated names never make sense..

Smith-Johnson, is his last name Smith or Johnson?
