On that last bit...I'm a fan of spouses sharing a last name, because I worked in a married student housing office for most of my college career, with a lot of study abroad students who had different last names from their spouses, and it's a nightmare for record keeping. That being said, I don't think women should automatically be the one to change their name. I think the couple should decide based on what last name sounds better with their first names.

(Er, not that I'm advocating forcing anyone to change their name if they don't want to)

I'll just be over here, missing the point of the secret...

I'm also a fan of married couples sharing a last name (whether it's one name or the other, or hyphenated, or anything else) because I think it's important for family units to share a name. Especially if they have kids; it's nice for children to be able to share a name with both of their parents.

I just wish that along with the name changing there was the acknowledgment that changing the name you've had since birth is a really big deal. It's a sacrifice for whomever makes the change, and it's really annoying that women are just expected to give that up without a thought and men who never even have to imagine it treat it like it's as routine as changing shoes.

Eh. While I'm sure some people feel strongly about this, my mom didn't change her last name, and it never bothered me (or my dad) or made me feel less connected to her or anything. She did give it to me as my middle name, which seems like a good compromise as well.

*shrug*

I'm sure it depends on the person, the family, etc, and I'm not sure there's any way to cite percentages, but for opposed anecdata, I feel very strongly about having both my parents' last names.

[mistress-siana.livejournal.com]

it's important for family units to share a name.

No, it's not. My parents weren't married, and I have my mother's name, and my father wasn't in any way less my father for that reason. The only thing that matters in a family unit is love.

[cold-river-blue.livejournal.com]

I totally understand that in some cases name-sharing is not possible or not desired, and I certainly wouldn't say it's damaging to children or anything like that. Obviously, you are evidence that it's not. But I still think that names are important generally. Otherwise, we would just give our children any set of names we felt like, with no link to our names, or the names of our parents, or their parents.

[kallanda-lee.livejournal.com]

And I do not see why anyone would have to make that sacrifice while it's completely unecassary.

I can see how you would agree on which name your children have prior to them being born, but I don't see why they necessarily need to share a name.

Then again, I'm not a fan of getting married in the first place, so I'll never have that problem.
