In Canada both men and women can use the other spouses surname interchangeably with out an official name change form.
If you don't want to take the name it's up to you but the best reason I can give for taking the persons name is that when you are getting married you are like partners on a team. Having the same last name is something small that brings the team a little closer. I like the Idea of a brand new last name.
In Central America everyone here has four names, two first and two last their mothers and their fathers surnames. It's a bit much
