Ok, I'm sure I'm over thinking this, but I'm just curious...did any of you keep two names for your middle? My middle name is the same as my mom's, so it's kind of sentimental. Also, I'm the last of my family to have my maiden name since I'm the youngest (and there aren't any boys to carry it on), so I'm having a hard time with completely giving it up, too. Originally, I was going to keep both my original middle and maiden as my middle but I'm realizing that it's just sooo long, so I'm not sure if it's worth it. My SIL mentioned that I could keep both legally, then use whatever I want IRL, but I'm not really sure how that would work since it seems like most things in life go by legal names (bank accounts, credit cards, work stuff, etc.).
