[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I kept my last name and our three kids have a double barrel last name. Zero issues I would never have considered changing my last name and frankly, I would not have married someone who didn’t support that.[/quote] Also kept my last name but gave our kids DH's last name with my surname as a middle name. They are in their 20s now so I can say with confidence that having a different last name was never a problem and that with hindsight I wish we'd hyphenated the kids. They went to a high school will a large Hispanic population, so double last names weren't unusual or problematic and in fact one of my kids of his own accord users both names fairly frequently (e.g., signs his name Larlo Smith Jones). Interestingly, I have a large number of friends/colleagues who kept their own names, all still married after 25-30 years, and all the friends who have divorced had changed their names. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯[/quote]
