My wife & I never even discussed whether she should or would change her name. She’s not my property.
I get what you're saying but having a single last name is convenient (doesn't necessarily have to be the dude's name). Especially if you plan to have kids.
If your kids have two last names, and they marry someone with two last names it could theoretically be a compounding problem. You gotta draw the line somewhere
It's extremely common for people in Iberian and Mediterranean cultures to get two surnames, some of which get compounded. Nobody thinks it's a problem.
