We're pretty surprised with the results of this poll, in which half of female respondents say that women should be mandated by the government to take their husband's name.
The study, presented by the American Sociological Association from Indiana University and the University of Utah, used this question to get the fairly small sample of 815 respondents to open up about various social issues
70% of those polled felt "either somewhat or strongly, that it's beneficial for women to take her husband's last name when they marry." A researcher called the enthusiasm for government-mandated name-change "interesting."
Will you be changing your name? Do you think that brides should have to change their name?
