When we were married years ago, we talked about hyphenating both names -- but never got around to it, so my wife took my last name.
It really didn't make much difference to me.
Our oldest daughter is divorced and re-married. She took her first husbands last name. She also does a lot of acting and singing professionally. When she got divorced, everyone knew her with her ex's name.
I suggested she change it back to her maiden name -- which she did.
Then when she got married again, I suggested she keep her maiden name -- at least professionally.
Well, she took her new husbands last name. Go figure. At least he's an actor also, so the name is recognized.
Of course, the other thing to consider is the legal hassles of changing names when you are divorced. It's amazing how many things have your name on them. And, if you change back, you have to change them all. To me, that's another valid reason to keep your maiden name if you are so inclined.
