Simply, it's up to each woman to decide for herself.

I don't tell people how to live their lives. Do it, or don't. I don't care. I don't even care if my future wife changes it. It's up to her.

And sorry that I didn't get your joke... What I meant was that a woman changing her name goes back to when a wife was considered property, rather than a partner. Times have changed, and so should this practice. Two of my childhood friends found me after many years and I more recently found my boarding school roommate. If any of us had changed our names, that wouldn't have happened. Changing one's name means that you disappear...

In many cultures there is no tradition of women changing names solely because they marry. It's one of the curiously sticky traditions here in spite of changing roles for women in our culture.
