I would keep my last name professionally, because whatever advanced degree I obtain, I'd like for it to be attached to *my" family's name moreso than my husband's if I'm the one who did all the work to earn it! Besides, my current boyfriend's last name is Howard, and if I ever married him I'd hate to be referred to as Dr. Howard over Dr. Holmes...my own last name suits me better, and I'm pretty much an only child, and being a girl, there's no other way for me to carry the name forward!!! now, outside of my profession, i suppose it's open for discussion! BTW, Im new to posting on this site, but have been checking it out for over a year!
