[quote=Anonymous]Like many of the PPs, I didn't change my name because I had a well-established career and professional reputation. Plus (perhaps alone on this one) it was a hassle I didn't need. My husband is an immigrant from a part of the world that is not super popular here. It's also not common or obvious to pronounce. He's always said, half-seriously, that he'd prefer to take my last name and same for our kids. I didn't feel strongly about making a political point when I got married, and even less so when I had my kids. They have their dad's last name. Hyphenation would have been ridiculous given the length/pronunciation issues with our 2 names (plus that strikes me as Trying Too Hard unless you've got monosyllabic names that flow well.)[/quote]
