[quote=Anonymous]I didn't change my name. No regrets, very happy with my decision. These days you have so many accounts in your name: work, personal email. credit cards. Facebook. LinkedIn (do you really want to advertise your marriage all over LinkedIn)? It was so much hassle and so much easier not to change. You can decide what to do about kid names later. I'm happily married 13 years later, but have some friends who have gotten divorced and really regretted the name change -- because then they want to change back -- and then you're not advertising a marriage, but a divorce to your professional and personal world. Awkward. But like I say, keeping my name has been totally practical and so much easier than changing my name. I have a somewhat long name, my husband a shorter one. Informally we refer to ourselves by a combo name. Say our names are Smith and Hansen. We call ourselves the Hansmith house. [/quote]
