It's traditional for a woman to change her family name to her husbands when she marries. Why shouldn't she keep her name. Is this a hold over of religion to subjugate woman? Women, if you were married did you change your name?

I was married once but didn't change my name. I like my maiden name and wanted to keep it. Besides, changing my name just seemed like a silly thing. I guess I'm not very traditional.

kept mine as I felt it implied possession

I agree. I think it beckoned to the time women were a husbands property.

I hyphenated my last name.

My ex had a cool last name. She kept it. The kids got my last name as a second middle name. No hyphen.
