The husband's surname

It's generational. When I was growing up, women always took the husband's surname. Over time it's evolved until now it's a free-for-all: male takes her name, she takes his, they hyphenate names, construct a new surname out of parts of both names or pick something entirely different with both changing.
For instance...a certain Nancy could retake her own maiden name.
D'Alesandro is fancier than Pelosi...

Trust me. I know Italian names.
