you dont have to change your name when you get married, i almost didnt change mine but like dappled said, it can get confusing when kids are involved.
but i have a more personal reason to want to change my name back to my maiden name so i might just hyphenate it. my husband said he would even take my surname if i really wanted him to.
but i know women who didnt change their surname and it never affected their marriage, i also know a couple of men who would be very offended if their wives didnt take their names so i guess it depends on each persons circumstances.
I used to hate my last name because it seemed so uncommon. I especially hated my middle name because it's the same as my dad's and we're named after a film star (yes, we're both called Sandra after Sandra Bullock) but I've grown into it. It's become me. I can understand you feel precious about your own name.
Although it makes things complicated where kids are involved, there's no reason in this day and age why a woman should lose her surname upon marriage.
