Marriage Surnames

[Kitty Galore]

I like the idea of going with your wife's because you like it better. I see no issue with that. I think it's awesome!
As far as no reason that a wife always takes the husband's name as a tradition? There are a couple of reasons for that, imho.
I'm no expert on anything, but one is for the archaic purpose to show ownership in a weird way, from ages ago. (I'm only assuming here and could be talking out my ass)
The other reason, and I kind of go along with this one, is that family lines traditionally have followed by the males name. That is how we have traditionally tracked families and blood lines. Now that same sex marriage is legal I see this tradition changing over time. It has been for the male offspring to carry the name into the future. I think people of "importance" this is a big deal to them. The rest of us, meh.
I'm mostly commenting because in 1967, it was a big deal still. My mom was unwed and pregnant with me, a good fiend of hers offered to marry her to "give me a name". It was that important to him that she and I didn't carry that "Shame".
