This was an argument for us. I wanted to keep my birth name-he was insisting I take his. He won the argument, I had to change all my documents and now when I go to renew my driver's license, each time I have to bring a copy of my marriage license-does he? No.
My parents gave me my name. In essence I went from their daughter with their choice of name to his wife with his last name (which, by the way kind of rhymes with my first name, so it always sounded funny to me and I've been teased by friends about it).
In my heart, I've always been L.A.K...to the world, I'm L.A.R.
There shouldn't be arguments about a name; had I had it to do over, it would be at least hyphenated.
