My parents are both doctors. My mother practiced under her maiden name (she's retired), but outside the hospital she was Mrs. Dadslastname. They get mail ALL THE TIME addressed to "Dr. and Mrs. Dad Dadslastname". She seems not to be bothered by it, but it bothers me - her MD is meaningless because she's married?

Some unmarried women prefer Miss even if they're over 18. A good friend of my mother's preferred to be addressed as "Miss Jane Doe" (she never married) and used "Miss" until the day she died.
