When xepherys and I got married, there was no question that I would take his last name. However, figuring out the rest of my name was interesting. Should I keep my maiden name in my name, giving me two middle names? Should I hypehate my last name?
In the end, I simply swapped out my last name for his, since my middle name was also a very important family name. I have two brothers to carry on my father's name, and I personally think that it is very romantic to take your husband's name. Plus, now people can spell my last name! Although I did go from first alphabetically to last... which sucks for random urinalyses at work...
I guess it's all personal preference. As long as you're both happy, a name is just a name.
