call me old-fashioned, but...
When KappaStarboy and I get married I'm taking his name. I have never cared for my last name and am looking forward to changing it. I'm debating on the whole maiden-name-as-middle-name bit. My mom did that: when she got married, she decided to become Jane Smith Jones instead of Jane Mary Jones (not her real name, of course), but that was because she couldn't stand her middle name. I like my middle name and it sounds good with KStarboy's last name.
I also have a first name that is a common last name (think Harrison Ford). So if I go with the maiden name as the middle name it'll sound like I have three last names. Then again, there are lots of people that sound like they have three first names (for example, Joshua Alan Ryan), so what's the big deal?
I dunno but I think I should decide before I send stuff out to be monogrammed, heehee. I just started my profession less than a year ago, so the professional name thing is not a concern.
