    No, insisting that your way is the only way does though.

    When did I say that?

    So having a point of view that’s in line with the majority of the country makes me a troll, how bizarre.

    Leave it be mate - the women are ganging up on any man who dares to say their spouse took their surname on marriage.

    Some do, some don't - its a fact of life.

    Let them continue to have the last word - its what they do best ;-)

    Did any of the women who wouldn't change their name collect a nice big engagement ring?

    No, just a small secondhand one. Not fussed about jewellery really.

    I don't personally know any woman who has married and kept her name apart from a few double barrels.

    So if Miss Jones marries and doesn't take her husbands name what title does she use, Miss, Mrs or something else?

    Whatever they want to use. Titles aren't important any more anyway.

    I suppose we could give ourselves numbers, that would be easier.
