I never even gave it any thought....I've always known that when I got married, I would change my name....not that I don't like my maiden name, but it's just something I never gave a second thought about!
I went from my maiden name of Hartling (easy to pronounce!) to my married name of Bialowas ( bee-a-lov-us) which is Polish (my husband was born there). It took my mom a year of us dating to have her even pronounce it right!!! LOL!
