So I kind of have a slightly different take on this–what do you guys think about changing your last name to a last name that’s very clearly not your ethnic group? I’m white and my boyfriend is Chinese, and part of my internal debate is whether or not I want to deal with people’s confusion for the rest of my life. Other weird part is that traditionally Chinese women don’t change their last name to their husband’s legally.
Right now I’m leaning towards keeping my maiden name legally but socially going by Mrs. Hislastname.
