[quote=Anonymous]I wanted to change my name, but I'll admit - it was harder than I anticipated. It has been 3.5 years and I think I've just now stopped finding random stuff in my old name. I also still have my maiden name in my email signature at work. I'm not in a profession where it really matters, but I'd been at my company 7 years and had a reputation that got stuff done with my old name. I noticed a marked difference when I only use my married name.

I took a new role and have gotten increased exposure in this new role, and I think I'm finally about ready to drop the maiden name in my email signature -- after 3.5 years. But especially when I took the new role, I would always introduce myself on conference calls etc using both names "Jane Smith Doe." It helped a lot.

I don't regret changing my name, but it was more involved than I expected.

What I really came to post though was that things I THOUGHT would be a big deal before I got married really have turned out not to be that big of a deal. And other stuff I thought wouldn't bother me do. You don't have to make a decision right now, OP. You can keep your maiden name for a few months and then decide. [/quote]
