Man loses testicles, to sue California (Last Names merge)

A good friend of mine was very seriously considering taking his wife's last name. She is one of two girls and her father has no siblings. My buddy has 4 brothers, two of which have sons already. At any rate, at the 'bachelor weekend', a camping trip on Independence Pass near Aspen, he told his brothers that he was contemplating changing his last name. His brothers ridiculed the hell out of him and he opted to go the traditional route.

Mike Buday (note the purple shirt), right, and his wife Diana Bijon. He is accusing the state of California of gender discrimination for forcing him into a more complex process to change his name following his marriage.


"Turn in your man card" is right. :shake: (Though I do think the combining of names, as in Villaraigosa, is kinda cool)

Combining names is a little odd, but I'm ok with it. Hyphenating, especially if you're planning on having kids, will get very tedious. Which name do the kids take? If they do take the hyphenated name, and in turn get married to someone with a hyphenated name. We get hyphenation overload. Give us another ten generations and we'll have peoples names spelled with nine or more hyphens in them. The hyphens alone may be more characters than some forms will hold. Let alone the ten "names" that are included.

Great point!!! To me, this would be a deal breaker. If you can't take my name, we don't need to be married. It's not like the whole fucking day/ceremony isn't all about the bride as is. Next, the groom won't even be able to attend, it will just be the Bride's family and friends.

And you're complaining about it?.....I'd rather go golfing anyways. Let the women have their day.

Are you gay?

This is pretty much how things are in my family.. all girls... none of us even gave a second of a thought to have our hubby's take our name but rather we dropped our middle names given at birth and took our maiden name on as our legal middle name.
