My partner and i are married, but have different surnames (he hasn't changed his yet ). I am not sure yet which surname to gave our kids. Pretty sure he assumes it will be his. I don't know. I'm not overly attached to mine, but have reservations about the assumption that they will get his surname.

Although, he has never made an issue about me changing mine, i reckon (and we have had plenty of comments like this) that he thinks the kids will take his surname and then eventually i will just change mine (to his) because it will be easier.
