I have 2 girls and my brother has a boy and a girl.
With that said, I could care less about a name ending and care more about being a great daddy to my girls so they grow up to make good choices, love God, love their country, love it's history and see how their Dad treats their Mom so they can witness how a husband is to treat his wife. |

I'm the last in my family.
I had all daughters and refuse to try a 4th time for a boy. It ends with me. My last name is very common so no one will ever notice. |

A neighbor questioned me about this years ago. he said don't you want sons to carry on your name. I told him I never gave it any real thought.
My former brother has two sons so they can carry it on, but I always thought my last last was bad luck, to hard to spell and people always think I am French when the name originates from Scotland. |

My older brother and I have no kids. We are the last in line. Our name isn't much. We're the product of two families that disavowed our existence at birth and still to this day. One side filled with some dubious going-ons by a German War Bride and a Tennessee Hillbilly (who happens to be my namesake) and the other side who doesn't understand why we don't vote for Obama/Hillary/Bernie even though Asians should be able to recognize forms of Socialism, Communism, or other -isms. I'm fine with it. |

I was the last, but had three sons. Time will tell if they have kids or not. I assume they will.
(To clarify, it wouldn't be the end of my surname, it's quite a common name. Just the end of my lineage, at least back to my great, great grandparents. That's as far back as I've studied my family.) |

The family name on our branch of the tree ends with my brother and me. Three sisters had sons to carry on their husbands' names. My brother had two girls and Mrs Flying Gorilla and I ended up zeroing-out.
Not like the family name ends, though. Dad had 6 brothers and I have a dozen or more male cousins who carry on the name. But as I've gotten older there are moments I do wish there had been kids in our life. There are moments where I realize that there is no one for me to pass down everything I've learned to. I guess it's hitting grandparents age and those thoughts are instinctively coming forward. I see guys with their grandkids and it tugs at my heartstrings worse than seeing guys with their kids. I saw a father and son out for Saturday morning breakfast with the boy's grandfather and great-grandfather and I damn near lost it. I hurt for not having any kids and thus no grandkids, while simultaneously missing my Dad and hurting for never getting to meet either of my grandfathers. Life just ain't fair sometimes. But what are ya gonna do? |

I am the only male my father had. He had 2 daughters, (with 2 other women. not bad for a white guy!
), so it dies with me. I have 2 daughters, (both with the same, and my current, wife!!).
It would have been nice to have a boy but I didn't really care. Not much on dads side to aspire to anyway so it's probably for the best. |

My father was one of four; three ofher girls.
I had one sister. So the family name died with me. I grew up never wanting kids. No appeal. ...until I met my wife. Two boys, the last of which was born three days ago.

For all those who said they didn't want kids and then had them- did you adamantly *hate* children like I do? Just curious, because I want nothing to do with them. Even other's kids. They're annoying, gross, money sucking, prevent you from being selfish, etc.

I've got 2 girls. My brother has no kids and doesn't plan to. If I think about it it bothers me sometimes. I've got a good last name that shouldn't end, but at 43 I'm not trying again. Can't do the baby thing again and I would probably end up with another girl anyways.

It's silly how much emphasis people place on this stuff.
My one month old daughter is sleeping on my chest right now. I won't have anymore children. My brother will never marry. He doesn't date. He eschews society though I suppose there is always the possibility he could knock a girl up and she decided to keep it. The family name won't die with us, though. My dad has kids from a previous marriage. His alcoholic son fathered a son of his own he can't take care of. I don't know if the kid took his name or not. Then dad had an affair and fathered two other kids. I think one of them had a child. I don't know if it is a boy or a girl. I guess the family name will live on somehow just not through me. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Thought the same thing from teen to 41 & then something happened Met a guy from work for a beer. I didn't want to like him, but once we started talking guns it was on. We talked for hours about life & what if we had it to do over...... I wanted to redo all my mistakes. He didn't want to change a thing. All his choices led to having his current wife & son... His son was just about to start his senior year of HS & my new buddy's enthusiasm for his son was contagious. It gave meaning to his life At the end of the evening I felt I had made a friend of the caliber I hadn't known since jr high. It started pouring rain so we called it a night He died in a traffic accident on the way home. I was gobsmacked. I bought a boat.... changed jobs......felt death breathing down my neck My son was born less than a yr later. I HATED kids ( I thought).......I was not sure how this was going to work........I feel like such a fool every day when I think that I could have had 20 more years with my son. Parents could never explain to me how much fun it is watching every little quirk develop. You'll laugh more than you ever have. You'll love like you never have. You'll unlock the genetic parent code you didn't think you had. Now I get into a murderous rage over every story on the news where shit bags hurt kids. Its weird, but it was a piece I didn't know I was missing. Don't cheat yourself and figure it out too late. I didn't miss being carefree and lot's of cash. I thought I had so much more--a family. ETA: I have two sons. They have six kids, one son. We go back to 1750 in America on my dad's side. An ancestor campaigned with George Rogers Clark. Native American on my mom's side, so even a bit longer in America. |

Both my sister and I do not want children. This would be the end of my family name. Have you ever gone through this? Ever felt bad? I won't lie and say I don't, but I do not ever want to deal with kids... As far as French /Acadian immigrants, my name is as common as dirt. And we are all supposedly related. On my mother's side,more French Canadian/Indians who banged anything with less than four legs. On my father's side, I have relatives nearby who are related but I've never met. basically "Domestic Mixed Breed." Once met a distant cousin who was black as the ace of spades. My brother looks like your typical Menominee Indian. (other than the being in a casino or on a fishing boat part). I look like my French/Irish ancestors. So,I'm not worried. My brother alone has six kids. Most of my cousins have three or more. I just play "the evil uncle" and have fun. |

I joked throughout the pregnancy......"well if it doesn't work out, I hear white babies bring a premium" Been with the wife 20yrs She didn't think she wanted kids either. It kills me now but we were die hard pro choice (& used it) in our 20's You just don't & can't understand until you hear their first laugh.... There is no high like it. You'll fiend for it as bad as any drug. It has been everything I never thought it would. Every day is new fun & adventure.

Edit: Wait, I lied, my dad has like a dozen nephews, I've only met a couple of them and I hated them all because they're trashy lower class people just like in the movie idiocracy and I'm sure they probably have dozens of kids already. So I guess my name will live on for quite some time. |

I have cousins that will carry on the last name but in my immediate family I had 2 girls, my sister had 3 boys. So needless to say the family name in our branch ends with me. In another branch, one cousin had 5 daughters, his brother had a son who in turn had one daughter and that was it. So seems like our men tend to have girls and few boys. Shame but there others out there to carry on the name.
