To be honest... changing your name sounds a big pain in the butt. Forget keeping madien names for independence or professional reasons - here's to laziness.
Now, in all seriousness, my currently bf (and hopefully future husband) has a Czech last name. No one gets it right. Ever. Part of me doesn't want to subject myself to that professionally.
I considered hyphenation, but my lastname is really Italian, so it just doesn't sound right.
I figure that I'll keep my name as is, but go as Ms. hislastname informally - at teacher things and such. Aliases are common in my family so perhaps that why I don't really care. Regardless, my children will take his lastname as this seems the most logical way to do things. Children who have different last names as their father get weird questions at times, and as for hyphenating their last name - I don't want them to have to deal with that anymore than I do.
The joke is that both our last names are two syllables... I'm R_B_ and he's V_CH_ so the joke is to go as the R_CH_s. Hee hee!
