Korea Thread: Liberal Moon Jae In Elected

[Valmy]

One of the most shocking moments I had in Canada was when I was issued a driver's licence.  The clerk asked me, "what was your mother's last name before she got married?"  This was my internal monologue:

So these Canadians regard my mother's maiden name as some sort of password, semi-secret that few people know.  Why?  Oh I remember.  Because their women adopt their husband's name when they get married.  Yeah.  Gender equality, land of the free, and all that.

This tradition predates the time we decided Gender equality was considered something important

I am sure our barbarous ways seem backwards and quaint. I just think it is important that everybody in nuclear family have the same last name (well ok important for my nuclear family, it is not like I demand it of everybody else). So I was all ready to take my wife's name but in the event she did not like her last name because she only shared it with her estranged father so she took mine. So my main thing is SOMEBODY changes their last name.

But even if done traditionally it is not like a maiden name is some kind of secret information, a woman traditionally keeps it as her middle name and also gives it to her first born son as his middle name. Like Franklin Delano Roosevelt's mother was Sara Ann Delano.

I'd slap Mono but he's too far away and I don't want to come in contact with his oily skin.

Why?

So the postman gets all the right mail into the same box. Duh.

[Valmy]

I just think it is important that everybody in nuclear family have the same last name.

Why?

Because that is the family name. So we are the Smith Family or whatever. The name in my family should be a source of shared identity and should represent a family culture.

Otherwise it becomes a litany. For some people that is fine, but is counter to what I wanted.

Well that to

[CountDeMoney]

I can appreciate keeping the family name, but using suffixes has often caused more problems than it's worth.   

I mean, thanks for giving me your name, Dad, but just tacking on a suffix at the end was just being lazy.  Didn't think about all the paperwork fuck ups later on, were we?  WHY IS A BOAT TRAILER ON MY AUTO INSURANCE THATS MY DAD DAMMIT

[Valmy]

I named him after my dad not me, so unlikely to cause problems

Shared identity? Family culture? You think you're a noble dinasty or what?

Nah, despite the "practically French" bit in his signature, he's an American, so like any other American he's not a noble, just superior to foreigners, even those who actually are nobles.
