What is your opinion? **Please help ?

Question

This question is for my communications class, I just need 10+ people's opinions...

What are your thoughts on women and their last names once they get married? Why?

Answer 1

I am a traditionalist so I think they should take the man's last name.  It is a sign of commitment, a woman is vowing to be one with the man.  I have heard of taking both last names though, but I would not do that.  Why is it one sided?  Tradition I guess.  

Answer 2

They should change to their husband's name or keep their own.  No hyphenated names.  Or else when the next generation comes along and Sue Smith-Jones marries Bob Allen-White, they'll be Sue and Bob Smith-Jones-Allen-White.  

Answer 3

I think that the woman should be in titled to keep their last name if they want to, or they can change it to the other guy's surname.

Answer 4

Tradition or not, using your husband's name is a support to whatever endeavour he takes.  I take it as 2 becoming one.
