I have a sorority sister who got married and her and her husband made up a new last name....VERY progressive!

I think the reason the issue of keeping/taking last names has become more of an issue is because people are getting married at older ages than in the past when it was more traditional to "become part of his family"....

I don't know exactly WHEN I'll get married, but I know I'll be over 30 and I have my own life and personality that I will have forged before meeting him. I may be marrying him, but he's marrying me also....

Taking his name is too antiquated to me...personally...
