Why does it really matter though?
IMO the woman is basically saying "im not fully committed to this." just to be clear im talking in general, not at these two people specifically.
also IMO, i believe that when you (man or woman) gets married, the new family you just formed becomes your number one priority. when a woman keeps her last name after she gets married, i get the impression she's more committed to her old family (mommy and daddy) than the new family she just formed. just my opinion though i know the libs feel differently.

libs
Everything I don't personally do must be "libs".
Logic.

Or maybe she just has her reasons for wanting to keep it
The professional one has already been given. And that is understandable if she has a career in which name recognition is important. Depending on her field...it may be hard enough as a woman to compete in it, changing her name could make things even more challenging.
Like I said, I gladly took my husband's name. However, I had gone by my maiden name for 34 years. There was a moment or two of kinda sadness when making the change. Maybe some women really cling to their last names as an identity thing and not because they are some crazy femnazi. Taking your husband's last name doesn't make you a better wife.

Everything you just said can apply to the man also?

Amazing how a few letter changes can alter a sentence.

Then maybe people should create a whole new last name when they get married, you know, to symbolize how committed you are to one another and detached from your previous family.
My sister kept her last name because our last name is fairly unique, and she didn't want to become one of a million Smiths.
