[quote=Anonymous]Reasons I kept my own name: 1) I had professional degrees and connections with my name 2) too lazy to change it 3) would never remember to use the new name 4) husband has unique name and is in the same profession and I didn’t want everyone I met professionally to immediately associate me with him or vice versus Reasons kids have his last name: 1) he cared more partly due to his affection for his father 2) I predominantly picked the first names, so that seemed fair 3) there are very few people with his last name and the entire Jewish population of the village where his paternal ancestors from were killed by the nazis, so it seemed somehow symbolically important to help the name continue on[/quote]
