Some of the many species Jeffrey Combs has evolved into:
There are lots of reasons for women to keep their maiden name. In the case of my wife, she had two good ones:
-
She didn’t want to become disassociated from her scientific publications.
-
She didn’t want to complicate or redo any immigration paperwork.
My wife just didn’t want to change hers, so I changed mine instead. No need for a particular reason.
Also some names just sound better. And some names go better than others with some surnames

Women, don’t marry men who won’t take your name. That’s a wall of separation he wants to keep between you. It won’t be the only one.
And don’t marry a man who insists you take his. That’s a wall of control he’s building around you and he won’t stop until he’s separated you from everyone and everything you love. Marry the man who accepts it’s your choice to decide, along with every other decision about yourself.
