Many women in Western society, aware of the power of names to influence identity, know that choosing how to identify themselves after marriage can be a significant decision. 

They may follow the tradition of taking their husband's last name, hyphenating their name and their husband's, or keeping their birth name. 

One fascinating survey indicates that a woman's choice is likely to reveal a great deal about herself and her relationship with her husband. Women who take their husbands' names place the most importance on relationships.

 On the other hand, women who keep their birth names put their concerns ahead of relationships and social expectations. Female forms of address influence others' perceptions as well. 

Research conducted in the late 1980s showed that women who choose the title Ms give the impression of being more achievement-oriented, socially self-confident, and dynamic but less interpersonally warm than counterparts who prefer the more traditional forms Miss or Mrs.
