These are the stupidest types of posts ever. We know nothing about you- anonymous poster- so clearly no one can answer that question for you (nor are you impressing anyone with your feigned obtuseness as to why someone might make a choice that had traditionally been and remains most common among married couples.)

Just to provide a counterpoint I’ll share a few reasons why I personally chose to change my name.

1. I knew I wanted kids and wanted our family unit to all have a shared last name 
2. Hyphenated names seemed overly complicated/pretentious 
3. My father was a deadbeat and I had 0 desire to remain connected to him in name
4.[b] We take multiple international flights per year (sometimes just one parent with kids) and having the same last name makes the security process less complicated [/b]
5. I objectively liked the sound of DH’s last name better
6. I’m a traditionalist at heart[/quote]

Eh. I had a name at birth. I don’t want a new one to please others. [/quote]

I promise you, it absolutely doesn't. I mean, you can tell yourself that but I suspect it's 6, which I always read as "because it's always like that." [/quote]
