I really, really love the idea of Steve taking the Barnes last name when he and Bucky get married. Sure, he's attached to the Rogers last name, but after so many years as Captain America, he almost feels like Steve Rogers belongs to the public. As Steve Barnes, he can take back his identity, separate himself from the expectations and responsibilities of being a public figure, really feel like he's living the life he wants instead of the one he once thought he should have. He doesn't have to be Steve Rogers, Captain America anymore, he can just be Steve Barnes, Bucky's husband.
