[quote=Anonymous]My maiden last name was commonly mispronounced, and I liked my husband's last name better. I kept my maiden name as my middle, and took his last name. I enjoy having the same last name as my kids and my husband - it's easier than the alternative. I feel a little sheepish when some of my feminist friends say they don't know anyone who took their spouse's name. I was in my mid-20s when I got married so hadn't established myself professionally, which made it an easy choice to take his last name. I've had colleagues change their last names mid-career and that's fine too. We have a few PhD/professor friends who have published papers, and if I was in that situation I may have considered keeping my last name or using two last names. No regrets 15 years later.[/quote]
