It's a matter of tradition (though rather unspoken) and pride.
None of the women in my family changed their last name when they got married. My parents just happened to have the same last name. The children would take on the name of the father's.
Pride...Well, despite Nguyen being a very common last name, I like it. It's what I grew up as, what I'm known as. I rather not change it.
BTW, hyphenating would make my name longer than it already is...And my first name is already hyphenated. XD
Not quite sure what I think about that as of now.
