How common has it become for women to keep their maiden name when married?

Obviously bigtime celebs do it, but I'm talking as you go down the food chain of notoriety. For example, a female pediatrician that does not have her own practice still has a "brand" of sorts in that she is googleable and has records. Do you think it would be more likely than not for someone to keep her maiden name in that case?

From the couple around me that have been married, it's still been very uncommon.

hmm thanks

I'm trying to figure out if this chick I met is married. IF she is, she either kept her maiden name or it happened so incredibly recently that she didn't even get a new name tag at work yet. Both seem kinda unlikely I guess.

Seriously what is the problem. Marriage does not make the woman the property of the husband

IMO a women is a man's women. They like to feel important and become in touch with his world, so much that they want to have their name. I often see girls not even married changing their names on facebook for their boyfriend's.
Allright facebook is shit but nowadays facebook is kind of life so I guess my point of view holds.

Not common at all.
Some hyphenate the two names together, some replace their middle name with their maiden name.

But the vast majority take their married name.

Yeah, the sickies

About 20 percent with another ten percent hyphenating or similar

My lady says she don't want my last name because she want to be associated with my dead beat brother. I told her neither do I, but I won't marry her without her taking it.
