I understand keeping the name once you’ve already taken it if you’ve had kids. If you believe the name isn’t to show “ownership”, as I do believe it shows, then the woman should of course keep the name she legally changed her name to after the marriage is over, if that’s what she wants. It’s now HER name to do with as she pleases.
But I don’t get the association of a choice between your father’s name and your husband’s name. Wherever your name originally came from, it’s YOUR name. Maybe both your parents had the same last name (because your mom changed hers), so that means you have both of your parents’ name. But again, regardless, it is yours. And it doesn’t make any sense to change your name, the very symbol of your identity, simply because you choose to legally commit to someone.
