[quote=Anonymous]Interesting thread. I had a different last name growing up because I was born out of wedlock and given my biological dad's name. It didn't help matters that my mom looked a lot younger than her age so without knowing her age it looked like she had me at 16. My mom married my step dad so all my half-siblings ended up with the same last name except me. Given that history I had no problems dropping my maiden name, it was a thing that made me stand out in my own family and referenced a relatiosnhip I did not have with my bio dad. That said, I know a lot of professional women keep their maiden names. I guess that could go either way as a sign of professional success or being an unwed mom with the kid having the last name of the dad. I think the hyphenated last name though is more of a socioeconomic thing as doing that if you have professional success but want to also include husband's last name.[/quote]
