Definitely. My husband will be taking my surname. There cannot be any second thoughts about that.

But as Billy0123 pointed out, it is also true that my last name would still be a Patriarchal name being passed on. So, I’ve decided to use my first name as my child’s last name – thereby ending the patriarchal line totally while also ensuring that my husband shares the same name as I do.

From my daughter a new matrilineal lineage would begin and will only end *IF* there’s ever a son born as an only child to break that lineage.
