    Interesting fact: in hispanic countries (Spain, Mexico, etc.) women don't take their husband's last name, and kids have two last names, traditionally the first last name (or family name) they have is the father's one, and then the mother's one, but in some places like in Spain, parents can choose which one's first. And yeah, sometimes we have middle name too and our names get pretty long.

      In Greece everyone keeps the surname and the parents decide,what surname the kids have. Usually it's the father's, sometimes they take both surnames.
      The first name usually is the first name of a grandparent. So many cousins have exactly the same name. Therefore in your papers and passport they also mention the first name of the father.
      So you get names like Ευστάθιος Αθανασόπουλος του Αθανασίου. I always pitty the kids that have more than one surname in Greece, gets really much to write 😂

    Taking the husband's name is a patriarchal institution. It comes from the idea that the wife and children are the husband's property. That idea has been disputed for a long time. In some cultures, it is not uncommon (Japan, for instance) for a man to take a wife's name

    Another interesting fact: Hundreds is years ago, Norman men (France) were irritated when their wife left them or died and all her property went back to her family. So they passed “femme covert” (covered woman) laws making their wives their property (no longer a person) and as property can’t own property, all her stuff became his by law when they married. The Brits did this too and called it. Coverture (think Downton Abbey) and America took it as well.
    When last names came in vogue, when women married, as their husband’s property, he put his name on her to show his ownership rights (it’s a greed thing, not a biblical one).
    Just like Washington and Jefferson did with their slaves to show their ownership.

      The patriarchal ‘ownership’ thing is questionable. The wife & children took the father’s name to identify their claim for support and protection from ‘him’; that was his task in the traditional set up. With regard to the children carrying their fathers name, the maternity was seldom in doubt, mum tends to be in on the action at birth, fathers attachment was a little less obvious so he was expected to ‘man up’ and accept liability for his, small but essential, contribution that initiated the process.
      Despite the disadvantage of growing up without a sister I survived perhaps because the major influences on my formative years were my maternal grandmother, born 1895, and my mother, born 1913. Dad & grandad were around but out working most of the time; failure on their part to ‘bring in the wherewithal’ to feed the dependants would not have been good for either domestic harmony or group respect from their peers; so I got conditioned from an early age. Likewise failure to provide for wife and family would not have been ‘a good career move’ on my part with levels of sanction starting at the ‘displeased look’ level and rapidly escalating from there. This from a person who gave up one addiction, smoking tobacco, and moderated another, drinking beer, because of ‘better things to do with that money’. The moral here children are a process not an event, they are ‘the gift that keeps on taking’ (:-).

      The second time I married, we both hyphenated our names, my insistence. When we divorced, his lawyer refused to write his name hyphenated "because men don't take their wife's name"!
      However, his name was hyphenated on his SSN card, all military paperwork, the house we bought, his drivers license, etc.
      I had to get a court order to revert to my maiden name and show that paperwork everywhere to prove I was no longer married. I always wondered if he had to do the same.
      I have also wondered why women need a court order to revert to a prior name. There is nothing on marriage paperwork that shows a name chamge, that change is just an assumption. No court order needed to prove a name change.
      After both divorces I reverted to my maiden name because I like it better.

As I write this Europe is struggling with massive energy shortages because they tried to "go green" on energy, and they have ended up dependent on Russia for much of their energy. The US is facing major increases in the price of energy, especially gas, because of green energy policies. Though the US is in nowhere near as deep a hole as Europe.

      A person who needs immediate medical treatment is a legitimate emergency, and they should definitely give such a person priority in getting off the plane. If a person's already dead, the urgency dissappear, and the needs of the passengers who are still living and need to get somewhere quickly should be given some consideration. This obviously doesn't apply if there's an urgent need to investigate the death.
      However, that attitude can come off as cold-hearted, not showing enough respect for the dead. Also, many passengers are squeamish about walking past a dead man, so they'd prefer getting it off the plane ASAP.

    Being fat isn't bad. Some people are fat even though they eat healthy and exercise. It's just how their genetics work it's not because they're lazy or unhealthy or whatever. And in that case, dieting can actually make you less healthy, both mentally and physically.

      You're confusing being big with being fat. Fat is a % body fat, and losing excess body fat will NEVER make someone unhealthy.

    For the same reason most men don't take their wife's last name. I didn't change mine because I considered it degrading to be 'wife of' instead of my own person.
    I'll never understand the women who are okay with being mrs. John Smith, but then again I don't have to understand it. I only have to respect their choice.

      @@avishevin1976 Of course! Spouses are entitled to use each other's surnames. I have occasionally used my husband's (for singing a package for example) and I wouldn't mind in the slightest if my husband did the same.
      I am critising the degree of normalcy that a woman is expected to give up her name, even be grateful for it, while in the same culture it is demeaning for a man to do so. It promotes gender inequality which I don't agree with.

      I think it is just considered traditional at this point and doesn't have as strong of a meaning. You aren't being taken as property even if that was the way back then. I think it shows that you are now a family, and having a child it could get confusing. My mother took my father's last name, they love each other deeply and it just shows their connection. I know in some cultures it's different though.

      @@shadowfoot2486 Tradition does not excuse the perpetuation of misogyny. I understand what you are trying to say, but I disagree with your vision on the current state of the world. If it truly didn't have as strong of a meaning as you say, I wouldn't have received backlash from my own family for the fact that my and my husband's child has my last name. My very own grandmother berated me for that decision, because it was HIS child too. Never mind that I was the one who gave birth.
      Please do not misunderstand me into thinking I am judging your mother. She has every right to change her name into your father's. I am simply saying people should have a choice and not be judged for it.
      Explained properly, having different last names is not confusing to children. They are very accepting of the world. I, for instance, grew up in a family with four different last names, because my (step)parents all kept their own names. It was never confusing to me.
