RE: Do you think a woman should take her husband's name after marriage or not?

Woman taking her husbands name at marriage is a carry-forward from old cultural norms where a woman is her father's property until marriage, and then becomes her husband's property.

The only good argument for it now is that it's easier for children to share the same last name with both parents... to this end, I took my wife's name when we got married.
