  I have gone  through  life with my own name of Robert  Thurlow  and am
quite  pleased with it.  It is  relatively  rare, and most people I know
with  the  name  are  related   somehow.  There  is  a  Thurlow  in  the
Encyclopedia  Brittanica (real a**hole, too :-), and a couple of islands
and a town up north of here, plus a street in  downtown  Vancouver,  are
named Thurlow.  So I wouldn't change my name; why should my SO do so?  I
think that the name change is something  that is  anachronistic  and not
really  rational, and I think I would be proud to have an SO who did not
want to lose a part of herself  for me.  On the other  hand, if her last
name was Smith or Jones or Schattenkirchner, what the hell ...  :-)
