Well, In Quebec the majority of women keep their names, although nowadays the majority or marriages are "common-law" as well, thus there are some areas of the province where you can find Pierre-Alexis Perrault-Bertrand-Cote-Tremblay
I have a sister who insists she'll only marry if he takes her name.
Myself, I'm gonna keep mine, although the neighbour kids can call me Mrs. So-and-so if they like....
Kids, well, i guess they get their father's, although, at this point in my life, I expect i'd be single when I have kids.(ok, it's just a desire that I want my kids to have my name - I love the history in my name - in fact I went to an Acadian museum back in May and learned lots more about ancestors [there were only 3 men who came over from Europe with my name, so we're all descendants from one of em])
