[quote=Anonymous]I kept my name because I like it more. It’s been my name my entire life and don’t identify with the ethnicity of my husband’s last name (European, not Hispanic before anyone comes on here calling me racist). I gave my children DH’s last name. I don’t care if people are judging me but my children may care more than I do about societal expectations and I didn’t want to saddle them with carrying around some sort of statement that they didn’t choose to make. Nothing political about my choice, I just don’t care for DH’s name and like mine better. If it bothers others or they don’t get it, that doesn’t bother me. I’ve had friends ask why and I’m sure some don’t get it but we can be friends anyway. [/quote]
