Yeah. The dcltdw method does feel like it solves some of the issues I have with name changing - it still requires changing away from a name that you've had all your life, but at least it is a change with your partner, not to your partner. More mutualness. But... I really like my last name, and still don't want to change it.
Maybe this is why there's that meme about female teenagers doodling -firstname- -cute boy's lastname- in their notebooks: get them used to the idea that their last name is malleable at a young age so it isn't a massive shock to the system later.
