I considered changing my surname as a young adult (18-19) to my father's surname, as I felt it was rightfully mine & also as some passive-aggressive way to thumb my nose at him. Thankfully, I was too cheap and worked too hard for my money to make this meaningless change. I carry my maternal grandfather's surname, which I'm ok with. It has a rich, interesting history--Yet, it doesn't come with much of a sense of belonging. But as it stands, the only surname I would want is a spouse's. In fact, I think I'd be crushed if they didn't ask me to, or at least offer for me to take on some wonderfully pretentious hyphenated version of both our last names.
