I can relate in that I've never had a desire for someone else to take my name. But my ex-wife wanted to take my name because it would replace her father's name, and that name was problematic to her. She has since changed it to a name she chose for herself. When my current partner married her ex, they both changed their name to one they chose to identify their new family. Those all seem like pretty good reasons.
