I was having this same conversation a few days ago. I was really surprised at the number of people (men and women) who thought the woman keeping her maiden name was best. It wasn't an issue for me at all, but I've noticed a pattern in this thread-if a woman doesn't get along well with her father, she wants to change her name. That is definitely me.

What I want to know is, what are the reasons for not changing your name? Is everyone doing if for merely professional reasons? Or is it also a sort of independence thing?
