Top ten reasons for keeping your name when you marry:
10. Because he wouldn't think of changing his name, would he?
9. Because this ain't the 1950s
8. You think your marriage status is your own business, why signal it?
7. Old school friends and ex-boyfriends will be easily able to find you on Facebook
6. You can hold your head high when you meet with your old uni girlfriends from the women's room
5. You will confuse and confound bureaucrats (my friend had a heated argument with a post office lacky, of all people, who said she was "unfeminine" for not changing her name to her husband's).
4. You know John Howard would think it unAustralian.
3. Your in-laws will hate it.
2. You won't have the annoying and boring task of changing all your ID back if (when?) you separate.
1. You will always feel like yourself, no matter the roadblocks that mar your smoothish journey through life.
