Ladies, how many of you changed your name after marriage?

@TLK

judging from the firmness of answers that ladies are posting, it certainly does look like an ego issue. It has nothing to do with the love for your dad. What if you name is Saira Bano, no male last name to begin with. Would that logic apply then that I want to keep my dads name? No right. Then its an ego issue. That is it.

I dont think its an ego issue TLK.

I was talking to my mom about this a few days ago. My nana passed away a LONGGGG time ago (may Allah swt grant him Jannatul Firdaus) and she made a very simple observation of how it felt once when she was signing her name on a check.

She said ke pehle kabhi is cheez ke ehsaas nahin huwa kyun ke vo zinda the…lekin ab jab vo nahin hein to afsos bhi hota hai ke meine apne valid ka naam apne naam se hata diya.

Its just a name isnt it? But for some its a lot more than that…for some its an identity. For some…it may be an ego issue where they dont want to forfeit their names for someone else. For some…its about love and how you always want to be reminded of the people no longer with you.
