[quote=Anonymous]It’s tradition in my family to make your maiden name your legal middle name and take the husband’s surname. It was fine and not a PITA at all. It’s even helped at times to still have my former name on my ID. I still have my identity but I like being Mrs. Smith, too. It’s not a [i]moral[/i] judgment here but I do think in American culture, women who don’t change their name at all are making a statement, and it’s not a statement I’d like to make, personally. I also get the impression that men don’t garner as much respect among other men if a double barrel etc. happens and I know masculine esteem is important to male identity. I know, how tragic and backwards of me, but it’s just my opinion in life. So sue me![/quote]
