What's your name?

Should married women take the last name of their husband? You can read the pros and cons, but I think it is good when everyone in a household has the same name. If they don't, a question mark pops up. Most importantly, you have to be concerned about the name of the kids. I personally believe the practice of hyphenating names after marriage is unnecessarily complicated -- Mary Smith-Jones? Try to get an ID with that. On the other hand three names sounds good to me -- Sarah Jessica Parker or Lady Bird Johnson.

So I understand why some women don't want to change their name. I don't want to change mine either.
