If I'd thought of it, I would have probably kept my maiden name and make it my middle name, but that's not done very often where I'm from. Most of the women I know who have done that are Southerners.

Oh this is almost exactly my situation. I always said I would marry a man named Jones or Smith or something that could not be messed up! Lucky me, I found a "Wise".
My only problem is that as much as I've hated my last name, I have a very strong connection to my family and I hate to give that up. But my last name sounds HIDEOUS in front of his name. My sorority sisters call me it ALL THE TIME.. however lately they've just shortened it to Nicole Z-W.
I have no idea what I'm going to do when the time comes. I'm definitely going to take his last name because I can't stand mine, but I don't know if I should keep it on there or not. His mom kept part of her name and it came in handy when she divorced. Much less paperwork.
