Only if her family's name is influential and reputable, that can be understandable. If she's from Dangote, Otedola or Rochas family, there's no need to change her family name, I may even be tempted to add her family name to mine But, if her family name no get weight and she's insisting on retaining the name, ask her, of what benefit is her family name to your marriage with her 14 Likes 1 Share |

KELVINXY:You merge important names not some feather weight names that are inconsequential to the society. A girl her father is still jumping okada has no right to retain her family name after marriage. That's a criminal act in a sane country. 5 Likes 1 Share |

It doesn't really matter, just that her reasons for wanting to retain her last name is quite unintelligent. While adopting your husband's name is like being accepted into their family and a sign of respect on the lady's part... Most people just choose maintain status quo. Because: 1. They're an only child of their parents 2. The stress of having to re-document, i.e, swear affidavits, publish in newspapers et al... Especially for people with many professional certificates or who have already established themselves as a brand with that name So long she doesn't force her last name on your kids, kini big deal. But I wonder if she'll have this perspective if your surname was dangote/Adeleke 4 Likes 2 Shares |

If she thinks you're worth it for the long term, she wouldnt have a problem taking your last name. A lot of modern women just want to get married briefly, have kids and then go their own way. After all she'll be able to brag that she once had a husband and she's capable of having kids. 3 Likes |

KELVINXY:Abolish bride price first before you claim recognition. A girl her family joined hands to buy only rechargeable fan as gift during her wedding insisting on keeping her family name is foolishness. Your family must play a vital role to your husband before he can consider you keep their name. - You married a jobless Nigerian girl - Set her up - And she's insisting on keeping her family name A family name that couldn't influence anything in the society 7 Likes 1 Share |

There is no consequence for not changing her last name except you have plans of traveling out as a couple. If you can’t deal with her holding onto her last name and she is refusing to change, this is a sign for you to take a long walk. 1 Like |

Reasonwithme2: Is her changing her last name more important to you than her being faithful and committed to the marriage? If her refusing to change her last name is a deal breaker for you, don't bother going forward with it. I personally didn't change my last name cause my husband thought the stress was too much and unnecessary. You already have a document that will say you're married. All that should matter is the commitment, love, respect and understanding that should exist to make your marriage work. But if you no fit deal with woman wey no dey answer your name, break up now o.

BusinessPlan22: No one should force anyone into something they are uncomfortable with. If he can't deal with it, let him end it now. There are plenty wives with their husbands last name who are adulterous and give their husbands headache. Last name is not a requirement for a happy marriage. 1 Like |

It’s not a big deal if she’s already gotten her Bsc, Nysc, MSc, NIN, BVN, etc No need at all, it’s purely ceremonial. My opinion and choice |

Reasonwithme2: . Change of name is a cultural and conventional thing that we have been doing a long time..its like marriage ceremony, like naming ceremony...it not a big deal.but we do it....and it doesnt matter if we dont.... but thats where the redflag lies....if its not a big deal why is she not reaching a compromise since its something you want..... if you say you dint want a marriage ceremony when she wants it...she will say u dont love her and cant give her what she desires....tell her u too will not like to follow the culture of paying bride and other thing culturally collected and hear what she will say... some women will just be difficult to live with because they will just disagree over everything because they want to show they are feminist.... My advice is let it go but look out for other connecting redflags before you marry her......she might not just like the name change idea as an isolated issue..... .and it might be more than name change, that she will not agree on for no reason...trust me u dont want to be married to an extreme feminist... 4 Likes |
