In our case we both kept our last names. Why change her last name when that’s who she’s always been? Really simplifies things as far as paperwork goes. Also - LPT: when you have different last names you can get double the introductory offers on things like internet packages at home.

Great idea! That’s another couple of accounts you can open up, and maybe even a few credit lines when both the parents have used theirs up.
Kidding obviously, because this place gets pretty rough sometimes.
