Chuckrock, it’s your call on whether you’ll marry a woman determined to keep her name, I guess. I just hope you’re willing to indulge your wife’s similarly irrational desires. I say that having changed my name mostly because it was important to my husband, but neither of us pretended it was logical for him to want that. It just meant more to him than to me. (And by the way, not everyone sees a name as their identity; I am more than my name, to which I was never very attached in the first place.) It’s reciprocal, though. He indulges my irrational desires as well. Marriage is more fun when you’re generous with each other.
Your hypothetical wife is giving up a significant amount of time and a connection to her past because you want her to share your name. So I guess my question is, what are you willing to give up for her, just because she wants it?
