I was at new work placerecently, whenI noticed a list of people as part of a contact list...read the list as you do..I saw the name of a man (whom) i know to be African/Black.. with a Double Barrelled name. When I equired furtherI found out that this man when he got married to the WIFES name..(oh yes) and linked it to his making it double barrelled...
My first thoughts upon hearing this was..WTF!!! am i bad for thinking this man is pussywhipped.. As far as I'm concerned I'm a traditionalist, when one gets married the wife takes the mans family name...call me old fashioned but thats how its supposed to be..failing that the wife KEEPS her own name, but none of this namby pamby stupidness where the man takes the wifes name...what!!!
Now i' not going to be horrible about the wife of this man, however I will state that she is NOT African ok... So i did wonder if this man would have made the same decision if she had been I suspect not...but i won't go there....

He's a pu$$y and he's whipped, simple!!From personal experience this wasn't an issue for us anyway like most couples and if it was, then marriage wasn't gonna take place, simple as that! Saying that I'm not surprised about this gentleman from your minute description.
Me lose my family name, you must be mad!!!!!

Now that is progressive thinking.  However, I think he probably did this as a means to have a European last name more than anything else. Wish my husband would take mylast AND myfirst nameif I get married.

Aryek: If i were going to marry you..my position would be simple..either you take my name ( keep you're if you like as well) or we don't get married period... So you can have a double barrel name or my name..but no way I'm taking YOUR name, double barreled or otherwise..NOT happening!!!

oh well not exactly
and before we jump on the *western* clap
in Islam the wife can keep her name........and many do.......including african muslims
but in his case, since it is obvious he aint muslim......i would say he did it to have an english surnmae. Just like in the case of an eastern european i know, she has divorced her english husband two years but still kept her english souding husband name.
I would not say pussy whipped, just coon whipped

yes mr ignorant man
my sis for one, her husband took my dad's name and double barred it.
my mum kept her own name, my dad kept his own
so drop the sarcastic tone, find the facts, then grow up.
