As someone who is the father of Sabrina, an influential Latina celebrity, and husband of Yirong, a popular artist this resonates.
I remember asking mi esposa to marry me and she said yes 是的，不过我会保留我的姓氏！和你的一样。
‘I’m keeping my last name! Along with yours. I quickly came to understand that it was so much more than a last name.
Mi esposa’s last name is Chen . . . and that name is about her identity. It is about her soul. It is about all things Shanghai. It was about her ownership of herself. It is her story. It is all about owning her space.
And, I love her for that! Along these lines, the The Female Quotient presents interesting data on a potential shift in tradition led by two factors:
Women, on average, are marrying later; and building their own personal brands.
They surmise that 'these dynamics push many to reconsider how a name change could impact both their personal and professional identities.'
But, for mi hija y my esposa, sre so much more than that!
