My (ex-)wife didn't take my last name, and actually there was a fair move among my friends that I should take hers because it sounded better. But my name is my identity; for better or worse, I'm sticking with it.
By the same token, it really didn't bother me that my wife didn't take mine; I'd gotten used to her name as her identity too. Just didn't seem like that big a deal to me (though in retrospect maybe a pretty good warning sign).
