How normal is a maiden name? I thought mostly Christians did it. In a lot of cultures surname is just a father's name, so maiden concept never made sense to me.

Edit: confused maiden name with husband name.

I don't know what you think a maiden name is, but it is her father's surname.

It's a 'maiden name' because you're supposed to keep it until you're married, at which point you're no longer a maiden and you take your husband's name.

Sorry English is not my first language. I meant to ask, how common it is to change surname to husband one.

I think the wife should get to keep her surname because like I said in most cultures surname is a father/family name so once married, your father or family you were born in doesn't change.

I would like some evidence that is true about "most cultures."

Wikipedia sure doesn't suggest that's true. If anything, it varies a lot.

Reread my comment."most" was used while referring to surname being a father/family name. Don't need Wikipedia to know that.

And my comment was doing the opposite of what you are alleging. I'm asking how common are husband names(that wives get). It is very clearly a question and not an imposition.

I see, this is just how you think the world should work. I guess you'll have to learn to live with the disappointment that it doesn't.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
