Should a woman change her surname after marriage?

And what's all this Miss, Ms, Mrs rubbish for depending on marital status?

I propose that women do not change their title or name after marriage to put them on an equal footing with men.

Discuss.

PS - this is one of them insightful, interesting posts I mentioned.

Stephen Hendry married Mandy Tart, I bet she hated losing that

A guy I work with changed his name on marriage to his wifes.

How is Mrs Prawn?

Was her maiden name wearthetrousers or his underthethumb?

No. Most IT systems / HR systems etc. I've come across can't cope with a even a simple thing like a login / name change.

Serious answer: I think there's nothing worse than people who go double-barrelled. There the same people who talk about having "partners", or worst of all say "we're trying to get pregnant".

I got an email message at work from a bloke who had just changed his name following 'marriage'.

I'm facing this dilema now.

I wrote my future name on an email to my other half this morning and got freaked out by it. It's really realy wierd havign to change your name!!!

But I've said I will for ease - bank accounts, stuff to do with the house, will be much easier if we both have the same name. But it's really really wierd!!!

I can't get my head round it at all.

Mrs Patterson doesn't sound so bad, or if he's new age Mr Emberg is OK
