[quote=Anonymous]I had an ugly surname and a bad relationship with my parents, and so did my brothers. I used to think that I would change my name during marriage, but then I realized I could change it any time I wanted and so I did. When I married I kept my new name. None of my brothers changed their name to that of their wife even though they had the same issues as I did. In fact, I've never seen a man taking his wife's name no matter how ugly his is or how bad the relationship with his parents is. The only pattern I see with name changing is that it's almost always the woman making the change. If marriage was seen as an equal institution with both parties making a joint decision to mesh their lives, both men and women would be keeping their names, combining their names or both genders would be changing their nanes at similar rates, but that's not what's happening here.[/quote]
