Do you feel that a woman should or should not take her husbands last name when she marries him? Why or why not?

I took my husband's last name, but I dropped my middle name and replaced it with my maiden name. I feel it tells who I am better than my first, birth middle name, and husband's last name would've. I use my "new" middle name a lot more than I ever used my other one, too. And with a fairly common (married) name and a fairly uncommon (ethnic) maiden name, I'm the only one with that name.

I kept my maiden name initially for business reasons, but eventually it just became too much of a hassle so I took his last name after about 5 years (and a job change). I think it's something that the couple needs to decide and both be ok with - and probably the least important thing about being married, but that's just my opinion.

i think it depends on the couple, it's a personal choice i think others can't choose what is acceptable. For me I had no issue with that i have my husbands last name. My aunt however who was a lawyer before marriage chose to keep her same name for business reasons.

I think it should remain a choice i have taken my husbands last name because to me it is a sign of pride in my husband and his name..

It depends. Does she want the whole old fashioned **** with you making the money and her staying home with or without kids?
If she wants the luxory of staying home or working less and you being the money bringer iner yes she should take your name..

I still like the idea of it, but nowadays it is totally your right to do whatever you'd like!
