What is your opinion of women who don't take their husbands last name when they get married? Does it bother you? |

Hmmm ... not really. I've been divorced for 20 yrs. and still have my married name -- I was married as long as I was single so got use to the sound of it. Karen |

I think its up to the indivual. My friend kept her birth name when she got married. She is very independent and this was just another way for her to show it she said. Her dh doesn't care at all. LOL! |

I see absolutely nothing wrong with keeping your maiden name. As a matter of fact, I have a friend that had leagally changed her name quite a few yrs ago. She finally decided to settle down and get married and her husband took her last name...as she asked the judge, she had paid for her name and could not understand why her new husband couldn't take that name...the judge agreed and said that there was no law saying the man could not take the woman's last name. He has a hyphenated last name now. |

It is up to the individual. I was glad to change mine, so that I wouldn't have difficulty spelling it all the time lol

I see no reason for a woman to give up her identity if she doesn't want to. Hyphenated names are becoming common and probably a good idea from a legal point of view. Easier to sign contracts, etc. I took back my maiden name when my youngest was 15. I detested the exhole's name. |

Here in PR you keep your last name. So it really don't matter to me any way. |

I see nothing wrong with it at all.... but I do think it can lead to confusion for people... it is more that society shouldn't make assumptions that just because the last name is different doesn't mean a couple is married or a child is a step child... |

This is a different time... I feel its should be the choice of the women.. Does not mean she loves the man less... Just means she is her own person......... hugs |

Son no. 2 took his wife's name when they married. He said that Kevin Michael sounded better with her Irish last name. I got a kick out of it but his father wasn't thrilled. |

| I use both names my maiden and my married names and now some of my mail comes with both names with a hyphen this can be very confusing to say the least that is one thing one of these days I am going to straighten out once and for all. |

In Holland the woman keeps her maiden name.She however becomes a double barreled name as her maiden name goes behind her husbands name.So thats the law there and there really is no confusion about it. |

I never legally changed my name- but I use my husbands last name for business.. It's easier to remember. But I REALLY wonder the reason you asked.... Especially the "does it bother you.". Why would something like that bother anyone? It's really no one else's concern. JMO |
