are you changing your last name?

jsocher

I'm having a tough time with this...anyone else struggle if they should change their last name or not? pros? cons?

Interesting; the original post is still gone, but I can see comments now. 

FWIW, I'm not changing my last name.

TK is <u>unreal</u> these days ... very frustrating, no?

I'm not either - have an established career where the Googling of my name comes in handy.

I am totally changing my last name.  I know it will be a pain, but we would like to have a family someday and I would like both of us to have the same last name as our kids.  Also, I think it will just be easier as the marriage goes on

I was previously married for nearly 20 years, and never changed my name.  And I didn't change my name in my second marriage, either.

No, too much a part of my identity. In fact, I haven't had a real nickname since middle school.. everyone has just called me by my last name since then. So what would happen if that suddenly wasn't my name anymore?!

No, I will not be changing my name. Although, I am the first person I know in my age group who will not be changing names.
