She didn't take my last name when we got married.

Now we're expecting our first kid.

And I've tried to have the conversation with her about like, hey, just her last name.

And she's like, well, I really want to maintain my name with like the political climate, this, that and the other.

Like there's some like voting things that she's concerned about if she has to change her last name.

Hey, Dr. John, how you doing?

Um, so I don't know how to really have this conversation with my wife.

We've tried to have it a few times over, um, where like, so she didn't take my last name when we got married.

Um, we kind of agreed to that beforehand that we were like, Hey, um, she's trying to get into law school.

So until she gets to law school, cause she got her bachelor's before we were married, just so that everything carried over with her maiden name.

And then she said, once I get into law school, I'll change my name.

And then she got into law school and it hasn't happened.

We're going on two years into law school, hasn't happened.

And now we're expecting our first kid.

And I've tried to have the conversation with her about like, Hey, just her last name.

And she's like, well, I really want to maintain my name with like the political climate, this, that, and the other.

Like there's some like voting things that she's concerned about.

If she has to change her last name, she'll lose out on rights is her concern that way.

But,

I'm not sure how to address really focusing on the, uh, our child because it's our first kid is coming.
