[quote=Anonymous]I took DH's name, made my last name my middle name (wasn't giving anything up because I didn't have a middle name already). Kids all have our same last name. DS has a first name derived from my maiden name and DD is named after people on my side of the family. I'm perfectly happy with my representation in their names. Also, my maiden name tended to suggest I was an ethnicity that I am not and I hadn't realized how often that came up until I changed my name. IME it seems like often when the kids have dad's name and mom kept hers, she ends up being called by that last name anyway in kid-related stuff (school, activities, etc.). I have a few friends who fell into that situation. They are really only called by their name at work. If you don't want that you need to be consistent in speaking up for it.[/quote]
