I haven't read through the entire thread but I have to say I'm a bit of a feminist and definitely will NOT be taking my husband's last name. I personally think it reinforces the subordination of women in a patriarchal society. We've discussed it and if we get married, my boyfriend is actually likely to take my last name just b/c he isn't really that big a fan of his family name now anyway. And as a side note, in 5 years I'm changing my last name to my mom's maiden name (not a big fan of my dad, plus her side of the family has been so good to me that I want to show them a sign of absolute respect and appreciation.)
(ETA: I also refuse to be walked down the aisle by my dad, not only b/c I don't really like him, but I'm not property to be passed from one man to the next)
