Comment on Why do the majority of women still take their partner's last name?
DuckWrangler9000@lemmy.world 6 days agoThanks for providing this really detailed and interesting reply. Lots of good insight here. For the ‘Postgraduate degree’ group, I wonder if they’re dramatically higher due to the frustrating problems associated with name changes? Like if you publish an academic paper with your full name, you can’t easily go back and change it, so that may affect it… huh.

I have friends who published before being married, so now professionally still use their own last name (for continuity) but socially will go by their husband’s last name.
