Making the decision to change your name when you get married can be a difficult choice; at least it was for me. I struggled and went back and forth with my decision. So today, even though I sometimes go by my hyphenated last name, legally I am still Diana Limongi. It turns out, I am in the minority. According to a survey conducted by The Knot, 86% of women take their husband’s name after marriage. (Ha! I guess I always was a bit of a rebel!)

This is really interesting to me, as I wrestled with the same decision myself. I’d been Elizabeth Heath for 43 years when I married, so I was reluctant to give up my name! As it turned out, the decision was made for me – I married an Italian in Italy, and women here keep their birth names…mostly because it’s easier for documents. Problem solved!
Yes! I think for documentation purposes it is so much easier. When i got my Italian passport (citizenship through paternal lineage) they automatically put my maiden name. Honestly if everyne kept their name that would be easier, LOL
