This specific example is condemned as "selfish" by closed-minded parents who can't imagine anyone *gasp!* having a different life from what they have and/or seeing anyone else's decisions as a judgement on their own

That, more often than not, really isn't an "and/or" situation. The majority of the people who have a problem with anyone who doesn't see things their way translate the disagreement into a judgement on them. And it's very, very hard to change their minds.

And really, you don't even need marriage to change your name.
Bonus: Name usually doesn't have to make sense either. :D

Publishing a book online: I'm reminded of how fanfics are done at Twisting the Hellmouth (http://www.tthfanfic.org/) Chapters and navigation is pretty good, and there are options for all of a story in one shot that make sense. There is export options to epub and kindle.
