[quote=Anonymous]Without getting into the patriarchal issues surrounding women changing their names, the whole thing is a massive PITA. My job requires constant identify verification and I can't even tell you the hours that are wasted (at taxpayer expense) because of name-changes. At best, it's a one-time change and all forms of ID are updated as well. But it's almost never that simple with the number of divorces and re-marriages now. It's really easiest for everyone to keep their name. As for kids, I actually think it makes far more sense for a child to have his or her mother's surname when you consider how many children grow up without their fathers. But assuming both parents are in the picture, I don't see why kids can't have both. So the mother is Larla Jones, the father is Larlo Smith and the children are Larlilings Jones Smith or Smith Jones.[/quote]
