I'm kind of torn. I love my last name, and it's a big part of how I identify and see myself.
At the same time, I have no middle name. My parents couldn't decide on what went with Jacquelyn, and my mom assumed I'd take my husband's last name when I married, so why add a middle name I'd just throw away?
I remember her saying when I was younger that a family should all have one name; after all, they're all one family. I'd have to say I agree with that -- but actually putting that into practice might be harder!
Plus, I have a track record of dating guys with AWFUL last names.
