Check this out. http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/2009/08/12/2009-08-12_70_percent_of_americans_.html Pretty shocking that 70% of the survey respondents thought the name change should be required. UGH. http://www.salon.com/mwt/broadsheet/feature/2009/08/12/name_change/index.html I thought I read a longer article somewhere... I'll find it.
