[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My name is who I am, OP. Why would I change myself? My husband never wanted me to change my name either. Our children have a hyphenated name, to reflect both our families: my husband and I each have a different national and cultural background, so it was important to us. Which means there are three last names in our nuclear family. It doesn't bother us, and it doesn't bother any medical, border control, or government administration of any country in which we hold passports or residency permits.

You seem to have lived under a rock all these years. Women have been keeping their own names and identities for generations. Any man who thinks their wife should change their name is strange and weird, unless he'd be fine changing his name to his wife's if that was her preference.

Meh, your name not who you are. It’s your father’s last name. [/quote]

OMG, please stop with the "it's your father's name" argument. Not everyone carries their father's name, in many cultures people carry their father's and mother's surname, and when they do carry their father's surname, why should they go through a bunch of paperwork to change from their father's name to -presumably- their father in law's name?
