    I already think it’s weird that people taking their partner’s surname is an option at all, since that’s not how we roll over here. And the conservative objection listed here is more absurd than the warning. By a lot.

    That said, wouldn’t the biggest impact be on the way children are named instead? On a cycle of multiple generations whether your partner takes your name or not is irrelevant, the only relevant issue is what surname the kids have.
