[quote=Anonymous]I kept my name because I like it, and most of my life people called me by my last name, or a combo of my first and last name. When I got married I had no intention of legally changing my name. However, when it is easier I use my married name and I take no offense when people call me by that name. When we had kids my husband left it up to me which name the kids got, he had no preference. As much as I love my name it is also a bit of a pain because it has an apostrophe in it, and it still gets messed up in computer systems. So we went with his name, which also shares my ethnic background. The kids' middles names are family names from my side of the family. Honestly I like the idea of the whole family having the same name, but I just didn't want to change mine. If I had a more common name or one I didn't like, I would have changed it.[/quote]
