Do you think of having a father's last name as honouring? That has never crossed my mind. In my circles, it is extremely common for wives to take their husband's last name. And, at least in my experience, after the four years of marriage before having kids I certainly felt like it was my last name too. It had come to represent us together and now our whole family. I don't think of it as HIS last name so much as OURS.
