I've been reading this discussion with interest. My wife and I kept
our own names and after a long discussion decided to give the kids my
last name. What I thought was interesting in this net discussion was
that was very little talk of the husband changing his last name to
that of the wife's. (We had considered that as one of the
possibilites, but opted for a conservative approach.) Are we all so
unliberated that this possibility is not even realistically looked at?
