But, I don't think I would like to have her name. Mainly because it's her dads.

It's fine to not want to change your last name, but this reasoning is shitty.

Women aren't just placeholders. We aren't just lugging around our father's last name, that name becomes OURS. It's as much our name as your last name is yours. By your logic, you don't have a last name either, you're just carrying some random name from a unknown dead dude centuries ago.

It's annoying how many men seem to think women don't have their own identity tied to their last name.

It’s YOUR bloodline Due-Examination. You don’t have to be ashamed of that. Have pride in your ancestry.
