ladies, how do yall feel about women changing their last names when they get married? is it just me, or does it seem like a property issue. many men i know say that they believe their wives respect them when they do it, well, in my opinion, why dont the man show his wife respect and change his last name? i dont feel that a woman should have to change her identity. how do yall feel about it? :) i know that when i get married, im not going to change my name, and our kids names will be hyphenated. :)Women changing their last name when married??
I didn't change my name and my husband doesn't care. It's way to much of a hassle if you own anything and then credit cards,bank accounts etc. Plus It's my name and part of who I am and I see no reason to change thatWomen changing their last name when married??

It depends if you're upgrading to a better name. I did.Women changing their last name when married??
I would chage my last name in a minute. I have a cousin and he changed his name when he got marrierd to her last name. It just depends on the individual.Women changing their last name when married??
I hated my maiden name and couldn't wait to rid. I think it is more of a traditonal thing that a property issue.Women changing their last name when married??
I changed my last name when I got married, because I wanted to. In today's society, it isn't viewed as a woman becoming property of her husband.
To me it shows unity, and I would like people to know I am united with my husband.
More and and more women are keeping their maiden names, or hyphenating, and that's OK too.
It isn't important which we choose , its important that we have the right to choose.Women changing their last name when married??
It is a matter of choice. If she is more of a traditionalist, she may feel she should change it. I won't do it again, although I went through all the hassle of it when I got married. As soon as I go back to my maiden name, that's it. That is where it stays til I die. Most men are insulted if their fiance's don't want to change their last name. I have no idea why it is so threatening to them. I am inclined to agree with you that it signifies their ownership of their wives.
If the hypenation works for you, great! But, to me, it just confuses things and makes more work for the kids. Another possibility is giving the girls their mother's name and giving the boys their fathers name.
