Some 31% of wives surveyed felt their family name was 'better' than the one they gained after walking down the aisle, while many said it was a big part of who they were.
A further one in 14 women admitted to compromising by going double-barrelled and using both surnames.
The Siteopia Names Report also found one in five parents regret the name they gave to their son or daughter, because they ended up being 'too common', or because the name was used by a celebrity they weren't keen on. A further 15% would not give their child a middle name.
Interestingly, the study revealed that only one in three people actually like their own name. An additional quarter are never actually called by the name on their birth certificate.
A spokesman for Siteopia said: "The name we go by forms a big part of who we are and how we see ourselves, whether it’s the name we were given at birth, gained through marriage or a nickname we choose to go by.
"The results show just how much we invest in a name and the connotations we attach to different ones – it's clear that where we may inherit a name or grow up with one we don't like, we’ll often look to change or compromise with it.
"In the same way, the name of a business or website will always throw up suggestions or influence in the way we perceive that organisation so a strong name is key."
