This is all well and good until you have kids. And then, it becomes an issue again.
Personally, I think people make too big a deal out of it. I think the idea behind it is to have all the members in the family take on a similar last name so it's not so confusing. Traditionally, it has been the girl who's done it. At one time, I figure it was a "treat her like property" kind of thing, but feminism has changed all that so it's not like taking on his last name means that now. *shrug*
At the end of the day, do whatever you think you should do. I think you're going to find it more convenient to have the same last name as your husband and kids though.
