Agreed! In the future, I'd be honoured if she chose to, but it would be just that: her choice. But c'mon... I'd want her to want my last name, but I just wouldn't push it.

My ex of 2 years did take my last name because...

1. She thought my last name was great
2. She wasn't especially fond of her last name
3. The whole rigid gender expectations thing was more important to her than me

Afterwards, she took her religious name-- and kept it even after she re-married.
