Let's see. I may dash it, I just haven't decided yet. I've talked to tons of my sisters who have dashed their names and they all say, it started out that way, but eventually lost their own name and took his (especially when they had kids). I may dash it, but that's the extent. I have been married before, a breif stint right at the end of my college career and took my exes name. I felt lost while getting divorced and wanted my name back so bad. My name is very important to me, it holds such tradition and honor to my family. Same reason that many men do not take their wives names. I honor and will respect my husband, but to be married it is not necessary to take his name.
I hope that explains it. And I will NEVER EVER Be: Mrs. Eric Howell. He woudln't want that either. I am Tracie Massey, I am not Mrs. Eric. Sorry, but that's a personal thing to me...not to offend anyone at all. I'm just simply stating my own personal opinion.
