[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your general field of work?  I'm curious, because our dd is now 10, and out of all he moms I've met over the years, easily hundreds, I can only think of three that kept their maiden names.

Once you have kids, it is really so much easier for everyone to have the same last name.[/quote]

IDGAF if you change your name or not, but that reason is complete bunk. We have three last names in our house -- mine, DH/DD's, and our niece's who we're raising -- and there has never been a single complication of any kind anywhere. Not at school, not at the airport, not at the doctor's office. It just does not happen.[/quote]

Well good for you. [b]I grew up in a house where my last name was different (due to divorce) and felt like I was constantly explaining it for years and this was actually the main reason I WANTED to change my name[/b]. So like many things, your anecdotal experience is not representative of everyone in that situation. [/quote]

Nice, I just posted about this too. It's also why my kids have simple names with only one spelling. My first name is little annoying and I have to spell it a lot, so I wanted to avoid that, too. A name is something you use so much that my view is whatever makes things most convenient is best. I understand the principle behind keeping the maiden name, but that's not my hill to die on.
