You will agree with me that one in three women dislike their married name - and would have preferred to keep their maiden name, new research has revealed. You can easily verify this by checking out the profile of some married ladies you know on social media most especially Facebook. most don't want to let go their maiden name;
Researchers found as many as 31 per cent of wives feel their family name was 'better' than the one they adopted after walking down the aisle.
The study also found one in 14 women compromised by going double-barrelled and using both surnames.
One in five parents also regret the name they gave to their son or daughter, because they turned out to be 'too common' or because the name was used by a celebrity they were not keen on.
Additionally the study revealed only one in three people like their own name.
A spokesman for Siteopia.com, who commissioned the report, said: 'The name we go by forms a big part of who we are and how we see ourselves, whether it's the name we were given at birth, gained through marriage or a nickname we choose to go by.
'The results show just how much we invest in a name and the connotations we attach to different ones.
'It's clear that where we may inherit a name or grow up with one we don't like, we'll often look to change or compromise with it.
