[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was married 5 years without changing my name and then decided to change it because o was pregnant and was about to get my professional license and it seemed like if I ever wanted to change it that was the time. I did run into some minor issues with different last name even before having kids and I’m glad I changed it-I like having the same last name as my kids. To each their own! [/quote]

+1 Especially the to each their own part.

My sister was published when she got married, so she hyphenated her last name with her husband's. Their kid has her husband's last name. I had always thought that I would keep my last name. But then I started thinking about having a different last name from my kids. My sister also told me that it can be confusing trying to figure out whose mom belongs to which kid if the last names are different. Moms still do most of the kid social scheduling. My maiden surname wouldn't work well hyphenated with my husband's last name. Plus I really like my middle name and some relatives call me the double barrel first and middle name. I was positive that I didn't want four names. So I just changed it when I got married.

It seems like a better use of our time would be fighting wage discrepancies and other civil rights violations against women rather than arguing about something that's truly fine either way.[/quote]
