sign of the times... mad women don't like taking dudes last names no more.....

so they hyphenate......and they don't wanna give the kids a dude full last name, so they hyphenate that shit too.....

Wait Nuh. Is given the child a hyphenated name really a thing now. I know in some cultures they add the last name on to the name so they can trace lineage but that is different.
 
if it's a cultural/lineage thing all props and honor given to thee...

but if it's that "why i gotta take a man name?" shit....
:smh:
 
Spanish folks it’s common out here. It’s a lineage thing but the ones I’m seeing are black children. It’s becoming common as hell.
 
I am with @King Du on this. If the couple is married there should be no reason for the child to have a hyphenated last name. Now in cases where they are not married or even in a committed relationship it gets a little messy.

word, one of the best things my mother ever did was give me her last name

Well my case is messy. My mother never divorced her husband so I ended up with her married name. Her husband is not my father and they had separated two years before I was conceived. All my life I wanted to change my name to her maiden name and it became a real problem for me when I got married and gave my son the last name. I just view it as his lineage last name starts with me.

can I ask why you couldn't legally change your name to her maiden name? nothing wrong with your son's lineage starting with you, of course
 
Because at some point I realized that I am who I am. The name is as significant as if I had given it to myself. I spent all these years doing things for this name. I have built a reputation good or bad with this name. So this is name I have fought for and defended. I will explain it to him when he is old enough to understand .
