Hi guys, what do you think of same last name marriage?

This question is more towards chinese as some believes that it is not good to have same last name marriage (eg. Lee married Lee, Lim married Lim etc.).

Please also state your age and I hope there will be seniors who will also provide some of their thought.

thing thing thing thing thing thing........ or is it THINK?

Oh yeah, typo. Thanks.

Lee + Lee = Lees, mana sama...

English/Western educated might not give a damn on it

Whats the problem with TAN Ah Lee marries CHONG Mei Lee?

Tan Chong motors!!!

first name or last name ?

Chinese educated won't give a damn too....

It's not first name. That's your last name. Or surname.

They just don't want inbreeding. Same surnames of the past generally meant that you're related in some ways. Thus it's abhorred upon. That's all.
Others include olden days disputes, but those are rare.

fyi..itu bukan first name..surname is known as last name

dude, you can't differentiate between first name and last name?

i know someone name TAN married to TAN. no problem.

i heard he dun give a fark

IT IS JUST A NAME. Change the name, problem solved.

Yeah, first name would be like Chong Wei marrying Chong Wei..

Anyway, I think it isn't an issue, the only thing you want to check out is if you guys are related. So looking into ancestries and stuff like that may be important especially to appease the older folks. Like if you're from different districts in China it shouldn't be a problem.

I'm 36 btw.

first night surely he needs to giv one

apalah TS engrand fail.

LEE Chong Wei marries LEE Mei Mei would be a problem if both are also from the same dialect & same hometown.

Lol. Yeah. It has been confusing. As you know, chinese's name start with family name thus, first name seems to be the family name.

But you know, family might object the marriage though, may be from the elderly.

Great response. But I think until the marriage stage to check on the ancestories, are too late already though. And it will be weird to check during dating period. lol
