[quote=Anonymous]I kept my name out of pure laziness lol. I actually wanted to change my name (don’t have particularly positive associations with the family name) but it was just too much hassle to change all my documents. In my husband’s culture it’s actually normal for women to keep their last name, so it was never an issue. We just did one last name for the kids but also out of laziness. I’d also be fine with hyphenated names, although if one of the last names is super long I’d consider shortening it! My husband actually had two last names and dropped one when he moved to the US just to make paperwork easier. I think outside of your family no one gives a flying eff if the woman keeps her name and what name the kids have. I agree that the way your partner handles a disagreement is a way bigger red flag than any name you ultimately choose. [/quote]
