Everyone has an idea as to why they keep their name as is and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Nonetheless, one of the top things to think about post-wedding day is a Change of Name.

Then it's not Marriage as we know it. Anyway marriage is not by force. You can be a baby mama and still retain your maiden name. Only a lazy, hungry and greedy man will agree to such setup.

Imagine you bearing different surname from your husband and child(ren)

Not cool.

Keeping her maiden name does not mean that she will not bear her husband's name.

For instance;


Cindy Olurotimi Buhari


The Olurotimi is her maiden name while Buhari is her husband's name.

what benefits will your surname offer her?

Will it take her to high places or open doors for her.

A woman's husband's name must be better than her father's name for her to change it to his.

If his surname has no legacy, then maybe she should not adopt it. It is only poor men that take this matter seriously.

those are just two examples.

It's worse off if a poor man mistreats his wife and still expects her to carry his name. What legacy does he have?

Woman can justify nonsense....

He already make your perspective pointless........if your husband's name is influential, you'll adopt but if your father's is more influential, you'll retain it...........retard sense.

Going by your perspective, the social value of the name is the determinant.

Re: Keeping My Maiden Name After Marriage by crackkhaus: 11:20am On Mar 25, 2020
Personally, I have no issues with this.
I mean, what's my business?

As long as the children are bearing ONLY my name/surname, there's really no problem.

Since she wants to be the odd one out, then have at it.

A man, who agrees to have his wife retain her maiden name, is not a weakling.

How does retaining her maiden name affect the marriage?

When a woman is ready to marry, she should be ready to drop her maiden name as well. She has become mine and i have also become hers. No third party. And what makes you feel i am not married already.

Please change the name, it will make your husband love you more, especially if he will foot the bills of the name change. That being said let me share my own experience

Before i got married I had international passport, NIN number, BVN, etc you get, i had a whole lot of IDs. On changing my name, Bank requested I bring an ID in my husbands name, along with my newspaper publication, affidavit TO enable me change my name on my BVN. (What led to this, I wanted to do trust fund for kids and they said I cant be a signatory bc my name is not the one on my BVN). NOW, to change name on my NIN is 5k, to change name on my passport is 50k, and after changing the BVN name my salary will be affected for some months. Na so Uncle say mk i leave am o, till we are settled enough to afford such documentations. Though the name is changed, my documents still bear my maiden name bc no money to change them yet.

However if you dont have to go through this process, change your name please. And you can apply for all documents in your husbands name (then change your BVN name too). It will mean alot to him.

Another point I know is if you are an only child or from an all-female family. They rarely change their name to protect their fathers legacy. And that should be agreed on before marriage

Look at these hags acting like their doing their husband a favour by adopting his name grin

Keep your father's name na abi what value does it add to your husband's life undecided By bearing your father's name, is it not a man's name you are still bearing? So much for matriarchy! grin

In fact, I insist that you keep your father's name, then your children must bear your father's name alongside your husband's - you must also encourage your offspring to do the same - so that 4 generations down the line, your great grand daughter's name would be Atinuke Adebola-Olagoke-Ariyibi-Ayinfele-Matthews

Nonsense.

If a woman insist on keeping her husband's name by all means do. As long as he kids bear my name that's fine. It will make it easier for men who marry liabilities to distance themselves from her without much stain to their name.

They still don't understand that some men will always have an antidote to their madness, whatever brand it comes in.

Na wa o, its like people dont date anymore. Let's forget these whole love and feelings nonsense, before marriage, you and your partner should talk about things that affect you guys, your likes and dislikes etc. That way, you guys will trash thses issues, there is someone for everyone, marry a person that share your likes and your have same reasoning with you.

My sister got married and didnt change her name because of the many documents she had before marriage, it will be too stressful and like 1-2 months salary might be affected. In church, she is addressed by her husbands name but in her documents, it still remains her maiden names. Funny the husband don't even care, this is their 10yr of being married and the marriage has not crashed because she refused to change name.

Abeg eh, make una dey talk before marriage so that if your partner nor dey on the same level to you, you go check if you fit compromise or not. If you can't compromise, pack your things and leave, there is someone with the same mindset as you. All these arguments nor make sense
