I never planned on kids and it was certain by the time I married that there would be none. My little sister, who did have kids, didn't change her name. I got the impression that sometimes her children would have preferred that simple last name over the harder to spell surname of her husband, but they were proud of their Dad and all use his name now.
I'm lucky - may parents selected nice, simple names for me. While my middle name has several different nicknames, my first really does not so I never had variations to worry about. The biggest problem was to get people to put the "E" on the end of the first name and not remove it when I tell them my middle initial is "E"!
