[quote=Anonymous]Kept my name. 1) All the women in my family have kept their own names starting with my paternal grandmother. Changing wasn't something I seriously considered ever. 2) Publications are already in my name 3) My DH had no interest in me taking his name. He actually respects professional women a bit less when they do take on their husband's name (a little...of course, nbd either way) We gave our children my husband's name because before kids I said that would be fine and didn't care enough to take it back later. BUT I miss them having my name. They were both in the NICU for several weeks before coming home and had my name there. It was hard to give up having them associated with me in such an obvious and, it turns out, intimate feeling way. But too late now and that's okay. I've been surprised over the years re: who changes and who keeps. Friends I thought were more traditional and "man" focused have kept their own names and friends I thought would never consider changing their names have done it right away.[/quote]
