ummm hehehe it's called a maternal surname.. and guys do it all the time (take on their mother's maiden names), usually to pass on a last name that will be lost otherwise. with 4 bros... it's never been a prob in my family lol.

Not that I saw. I tried making a couple of last names with apostrophes, having seen some NPCs thus blessed, but I think us plebs don't get to do that. Never did try it with a first name but I'm assuming if you can't do it with a surname you certainly can't do it with the first name. Course we know what they say about ass-umptions!

(Other cultures use maternal surnames quite often too, but that's by the by.)

I wasn't able to in Beta, but tried it early on in beta 5 so maybe at launch.

as long as people don't make out infront of me, i don't really care about their sexual prefferences... i'm going to be just as pissed at seeing a m/f couple making out as i would be seeing a m/m or f/f couple in game. there are chatrooms all set up for that kinda thing... i'm more likely to assume two guys with the same last name are bros more than anything.

So basically they just need to make a /surname XXXX command so we dont have all this issue of gay marrages and such.

Also I dont think I would ever take a womans last name on marrage being a man it just doesnt sit well with me.

Guess I will just go ahead and add my last name from the start.

No Gay marriage is not aloud HOPFULLY because in midevil times there was NO stupid gay people all went with women even if they were gay they always went straight and only straight so, HOPFULLY no gay marriage will happen because gay marriage is not right.
