Although I’m not American I have often considered this. As I’ve got a double barrel surname I’ve been asked a few times whether I would change my name to just one and which one I would choose. And without hesitation I always say I would choose my (white) fathers name over keeping my mothers because hers is the slave the name. Even though I identify more with more mothers side of the family. I doubt I will ever change my name though as I quite like it as it is.
