[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am getting married soon. I plan to still use my last name professionally, but do want to have the same last name as my future kids and see the value in 'changing' my name from a family perspective. I don't like hyphenated last names, so plan to make my legal name "Larla Marie Smith Jones" (Smith being my maiden name, Jones being my husband's name). On anything I need to write a first / last name on, I'd be "Larla Smith Jones". I don't want to make my middle name my maiden name since my current middle name is a family name / a name I'd want to pass down to my own daughter someday.

Curious if anyone else has done this and if there are any inconveniences I should be aware of.

Keep your name and give it to your children. 
Statistically, it's quite likely that you'll end up divorced from your spouse and your children will be living primarily with you.

He can keep his name professionally and change his socially for the sake of sharing a name with your kids. [/quote]
