  Yes, I am doing the exact same thing. I am dropping my middle name and my maiden name will now become my middle. People will never call you by your maiden middle name and your new last name (ex. Mrs. Mary Piper Smith) They'll just call you Mrs. Smith. When you change your name to your new name you'll need to make sure you have your SS, banks, Credit cards, mortgage note, all relevant bills,etc updated with your new name. Most will only request your first and new last name, unless you currently use your middle name too on documents.

  I am doing almost the same thing.  I am keeping all three. 

  I actually only use my middle initial because I have a common first and last name.

  Example  Susie L Smith  My new name will be Susie L Smith Jones

  I want to do this way because I am not changing my name at work, at least not right now. Also my last name kinda defines part of who I am and I dont want to loose that. I will have new stuff put in my new last name only.  I figured, having my name this way will allow me to vary between names with out too much hassle.  I will have to update my passport.

  I had planned to keep my middle name and have both my maiden name & new last name, but I decided to go ahead & drop my maiden name and take FI's name all the way. I didn't want to replace my middle name with my maiden name cause my mom& I share middle names.

  I will be keeping my current last name mainly because of my kids.  So the plan is to hyphenate it.  I don't want the kids to feel like they are alone if I change my last name.  Plus I was watching an episode about cruises.  Apparently there's some rule that if the mother has a different name than the children, she legally needs to get permission from the biological father in order for the kids to go on the cruise - regardless of who has custody, etc.  SO that wouldn't work for me.  Unfortunately their dad is not that involved, nor would he willing do that.  So at least the way I'm doing it, we wouldn't have any travel issues.  At some point after the wedding, we plan on doing a family cruise.
