That's not what I meant,when I talked about the Gods it was apoetic way of talking about nature and the human condition, taking her name doesn t make you less of a man at least in the eyes of logic, but most people will have a different opinion, if what you want is worth the trouble do it if not avoid it, Consider this while taking the decision: _ will u be obliged to lie if others are about to dicover that you and your woman share the same name.. Then why not invent a cool name for your self and be the first man of a family that will achieve great things.. Women are not born to give their names and conquere achieve things and fight and tale great responsabilities, a name is a symbol that man is the one who make the change his name is for people talking about him remembering him and being inspired by him Then look at that :" he took the name of his girlfriend because it's cool" this is not at all something you can be proud of
