What someone else does doesn't necessarily 'ruin [someone's] life so much', but many people are uncomfortable with the historical connotations of changing to your husband's name on marriage.
![]() Why should someone else's choices bother you personally - regardless of the historical tradition of changing surnames on marriage? As the law stands, women can choose to either retain or change their name on marriage. All that should concern you is how you would be affected personally if you were a woman faced with that choice on marriage. I really can't see why another woman's choice should affect your life one way or another.

Steady now. You'll be told this has nothing to do with Strictly and therefore you mustn't discuss such things on here (I think it's interesting though!)
I am genuinely surprised how many people think changing your name on marriage is simply a sweet thing to do because you really love your husband and want to world to know it, but don't seem to know how or why this tradition evolved. |

Yep, not new at all - I'm assuming you know the historical inplications of it, and can therefore understand why some people don't agree with the tradition?

Some people should then do what they are comfortable with and allow others do as it suits them .
No one on the thread has actually said that anyone shouldn't be 'allowed' to do it - or have I missed a post? |

Absolutely. Who has suggested otherwise? A previous poster stated that they 'hated' it when women changed their names on marriage; someone asked 'why?'; I pointed out that there are valid reasons why some take a negative view of the tradition of a woman adopting a man's name.

That was probably the whole point of their post. If something seems deliberately goady, you can bet it's because the poster is being deliberately goady

Quite right too!

It was a choice not being a "chattel" - anyone who knows me would laugh at that thought

Considering most people use their father's surname prior to marriage it is only changing one bloke's name for another's anyway. I used my mother's surname for many years but then again she got it from her dad.
