[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I definitely try to be respectful of this.  But also, many families just have one last name (I know not ALL families!).  So people default to that.  I realize now it's a thing with your parents so that makes it more irksome.  I'd probably just talk to them about it at a non-mail receiving time so they know how much it bothers you.

I do find it interesting though that so many women keep their names out of principle, but then give their children their DH's last name.  That was the main reason I changed name: to match my future kids.  [/quote]

I like my last name, but it's awful to spell. I gave my kids my husband's last name because it's easy to spell, and no one gets it wrong. [/quote]

My parents had a really difficult to spell last name, so they gave me a totally different last name that was easy to spell. I kept it because I liked it better than my husband's last name, but it has no relationship to my ancestry or anything. It's just a name.[/quote]
