I'm just curious, and this is not meant angrily or asked in a sour manner, but is that how you see those of us who take our husband's name or just how you would feel personally?

I've never thought about all this very much but have more since it was brought up. I think it would be harder now for me to 'change identities.' I wasn't very happy as a child and my last name was twisted around and used to torment me in school. I've never had that association with my name now and I feel more attached to it, and I think it would be much tougher to change again now.
