When I get married, I won't be changing my name, so professionally I'll be Ms Munchkin03, still.

As for children, I hate hearing "Miss FirstName." Bah! It sounds straight out of the plantation (and I'm NOT with that one!). Either Ms. LastName, or a term of endearment, such as "Aunt FirstName."
Thanks for the reminder about the "straight out of the plantation."
I'm cool with Ms. LastName for kids. I am very picky about who can call me Aunt FirstName, however. My line sister's 2-year-old son can call me "Auntie FirstName" any time.
