Reply #11: My wife kept hers [View All]

She said because her professional credentials were all in her maiden name. I secretly suspect there is some element of ethnic nationalism involved.

Soemtimes it would be convenient if she took my name - mainly in commercial transactions (airline tickets, etc.). We get tired of explaining 1) We are really married 2) We have different last names.

On Edit: Personally, she is just wonderful with her own name.

Funny incident - I called her work and left a message that her husband called. When she got the message, she wondered why her father had called her - message was from Mr. Her-lastname!
