No, I think the whole name change thing is silly. When we got married there was no thought of my wife changing her name to mine, nor me changing to her’s. We are both professionals and practices under our own names. The only discussion was when kids were born we just used my name on the birth certificate.
Interestingly, my daughter, who is a professional as well, took her husbands last name, but changed her middle name to her maiden name. Her husband is pretty conservative and I think would have felt emasculated had she kept her name. The male ego is a fragile thing.
