[quote=Anonymous]I was in my early 20s when I got married and I changed my name. I hated my maiden name - nobody could spell or pronounce it and it was just a huge pain. Now, 20 years later, I regret changing it. I have never really felt like the last name is me, and it might be because my husband's family is just really different than mine. I also am going through some major marital difficulties and am not super excited about the change of having to change my name again if we got divorced (and I would drop the name upon divorce). As far as feminism, I personally felt that both names were patriarchal. So, I had my dad's name and I didn't find that using my husband's name was that much worse. I really don't understand the anger in some of the discussions in this thread. Isn't feminism about letting women decide what they want? [/quote]
