I don't think there is any kind of universal "should" that fits everyone here. It's a matter of, what do you think, and what does he think?
1) You take his name, and lose the name you've had all your life. How is this fair? He won't take your name, I bet. Tradition? I'm not a big believer in tradition merely for its own sake.
2) Hypenation. How many generations can do this before our last names are like Smith-Jatla-Jones-Grayson-Mustafa? Talk about a nightmare for the kids to spell!
3) Keep your own name. He feels miffed, and what DO you name your kids? Do you hyphenate them, and lead to the same problem as mentioned in #2?
4) Merge your two last names into something funky, like Green and Jones become Grones. That's a little cutesy for my taste, and it'll give future genealogists nightmares.
