- When I got married, I never once considered changing my last name.
- Things began to shift when I gave birth to my first child.
- Now I'm thinking of taking my husband's last name after all.
When my husband and I eloped on a cliff overlooking the Minnesota-Ontario border, I was adamant about keeping my last name.
"It's who I've always been," I said.
