Wow, haha. That's a lot. It's like the Smiths here in America. Sounds like a complex issue on deciding on what to do. I do like the idea of combining names. It has kind of a unique feeling. Overall I don't quable too much over names, as I hate the "status" that comes with them.
Technically if we'd gone with what I said before, I should have taken my wife's last name, as her family is a long line of wealthy people, and in particular it was a family of dentists. But she hated the name still so. =P (Gibson btw) Hers and mine are now Foster.

Eeek! It's good that I know that now.

She's right, Gibson doesn't sound as nice as Foster. Jodie Foster? Are you *related*? 
What do your surnames mean though? Foster - foster parent? Gibson - works with Gibbons? |

My future hubby also insists on taking my last name. The reason for it is because his last name is Polish, while mine is Dutch. I have no particular preference myself, but he thinks a Polish last name might make people discriminate our kids.

These are perfectly valid reasons why people might choose to take one name over the other when getting married. Kudos to all of you, and a nice slap in the face to Necronner who insists that the wife must take his surname to cement their marriage and prove that she won't ever look for anyone else but him.
(While all he does is promise, double cross my heart) |

Not that big of a deal. My wife's surname is polish (well, Prussian really.), and it never affected her or her brothers. Besides, the polish people have a colorful history and culture, it'd be a shame to lose that heritage just because someone *might* discriminate. Have you discussed having the children have a completely different surname from either of you that reflects both of your lineages?
Back on topic: My wife never took my name after we were wed, and I never asked her to. We've been married 15 years now, and she is still with me because she loves me, and I with her for the same reason. If you have to "own" your spouse because of your own insecurity, it doesn't bode well for the marriage. (oh, We live in the deep south, and have never had a problem with it either though I do get a chuckle whenever her coworkers or clients address me as Mr. <Her_Surname>.)

Where I am, Polish people are currently discriminated a lot for mass immigrating into our country. I've been to Poland and it's an amazing country, but I've never interacted with the Polish in our city so I can't honestly give criticism on it. The Polish community, like the Turkish and Moroccan community, tend to keep to themselves.
It's an idea that we might consider. Our heritages are Dutch, Polish and Asian. Wonder if there's a surname for that.

No worries! It's not the kind of phobia you can really expect people to just not talk about (especially now that I'm of the age that all of my friends are having babies and it's a happy thing).
I'm probably better at dealing with it now than I once was.

If by circle jerk, open up to meaningful/light-hearted conversation with one another. You're right.

Haha, maybe! Actually though, at a recent anime convention we were selling at, we ran into a DANG good Thor cosplayer that was even pretty cute. My wife flirted with him and told him, "Well, my last name is Foster." xD
| Dawn wrote: | | What do your surnames mean though? Foster - foster parent? Gibson - works with Gibbons? |
Yeah, Gibson came from that middle-ages Scottish descent from Gibs I believe or something similar. I know in America there's been a lot of wealthy Gibsons though, with several types of businesses they own. But Foster seems to be from foster parents, or I think there was a Saint Foster or something. Dunno.

my sympathies to your wife - i really hope she can find a solution short of hysterectomy, though - one hates to think the only way to solve one problem is to put oneself at risk for others.

Thanks. Hopefully we can go as minimalistic as possible with least side effects, but the idea of pregnancy has always freaked her out to such an end, like Samsally. And whatever we do, it won't be the right thing unless it can stop the periods. But she doesn't want to be on birth control anymore, as it's side effects to the health are extremely high. The bone-density getting thin being just one of the problems.
