Reasons Not to Change Your Name After Marriage

  • You may have established yourself in a career and depend on name recognition for your business and reputation.
  • You may not believe in the politics of women changing their last names after marriage since men don't have the same expectation.
  • Your identity may be closely tied to your name and you don't want to lose your sense of self.
  • You may be the last person to carry on your family name and want to make sure it lives on.
  • Your husband's last name may be difficult to pronounce or create an annoying joke when combined with your first name (ex: Mrs. Mary Christmas).
