Hey Queens, welcome back to another episode of the Daily Buzz. Today we're talking about a hot topic, which is don't get married if you're not going to change your last name. I don't know what you think, Kelsey, but I think if you're going to go into marriage, you should change your last name to your husband's name. What do you think?
Speaker 2:I don't think that that is a thing anymore.
Speaker 1:You think so? No, you don't. Did you change? How long did it take for you to change your last name? Or did you ever?
Speaker 2:I did change my last name but I waited like five years. Five years, yes, wow. And that didn't determine our marriage or if we were in love or wanted to be together.
Speaker 1:I'm not saying that it doesn't. I just think it's rude To who? To your husband? What if he?
Speaker 2:has an ugly last name. I don't give a fuck.
Speaker 1:What if?
Speaker 2:his name sounds terrible with your first name. I guess you're just going to have a terrible name, or what if that's like the last? You're the last one in the family line, hypothetically if you have a son to hyphenate the name and then that family name gets passed down.
Speaker 1:So you're saying, on your side you're trying to keep the family name going, so that's like your excuse for not changing it I'm just saying that there's unique situations to each marriage.
Speaker 2:Okay, I just don't know. It might be a cultural thing here in america, you think so? Yeah, I'm sure there's other like there's other countries where people hyphenate their last name and don't fully drop their maiden to put on their married name, your last name.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know. I just think I don't know I was excited to change my last name and it's just like it's a new chapter. You're leaving and starting your own family with your husband. So it's like, love, my last name that I had before and it was special to me. But I just just I don't know, and I think it's also kind of cringe and weird when, like, the husband takes the wife's last name. Okay, I don't know why. I just like I just I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't think that's very common, so it is different. Yeah, when the husband takes the wife's last name. Yeah, I just don't see the okay, but what happens if somebody's married like multiple times? At what point do you stop changing your last name, girl, that's when you like go when it's like your fourth and fifth marriage and your name changes like five times. Or your name, yeah, your name changes five times. Yeah, at what point do you stop changing your last name?
Speaker 1:I would think to just stop getting married if you're getting married four times I think.
Speaker 2:I think that's a new problem maybe, but that's a go see a therapist.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a go see the therapist for that okay, okay, well, do what's best for you.
Speaker 2:Or grace says no, you change your last name. I just think you should, okay. Okay, you're entitled to your opinion, boo, and that's your daily buzz.
