[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A trend? Most of my friends did not take their husband’s names 20-30 years ago.[/quote] It's important not to be deceived by a small sample like your friend group. The overall trend, backed by stats, shows a different story. About 85% of women in recent years have taken their husband's last name. This trend indicates a strong cultural norm and practical ease in adopting the husband's surname, even in more liberal areas like DC. The DCUrbanMom forum might have a vocal left-leaning voice, but it doesn't fully represent the wider societal views, which clearly favor name-taking.[/quote] I know that most women still take the husbands name, but that doesn't mean that everyone should, which seems to be the OP's argument.[/quote]
