[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually like my DH's last name better than mine but for various reasons (didn't want to go through the hassle, didn't like the tradition of the wife taking the husband's last name, etc) kept mine. I am the only woman in my family or social circle who didn't change her name and there were people who had lots of opinions about it. So ridiculous-it's a personal decision and I certainly never gave anyone who changed their name flack but yet there were some who felt free to give me the side eye. [/quote]

I liked changing my last name. I like the sound of it, I have to spell it (not complicated but there are 2 letters in the middle that are not sounded) but I have to spell my first name anyway because there are too many ways people with the same name spell it. I think partly because I was bullied for some years in middle school, not about my name (not as dull as Smith but pretty common) but using my name.

One of my closest friends fretted about changing her name at marriage and was going to keep hers, then she thought about the fact that it was her dad's name anyway. I have a cousin who changed hers to her mom's maiden name just to rile her conservative evangelical father. [/quote]
