   I'm now First Middle Married. My First and Middle came from my mom, who I'm very close with, so I kept it. My Maiden came from my father, who I was never close with, so I dropped it. I teach at a college where the average age is 29, so everyone is getting married - or it seems that way. Here's how I see the name game: 50%…

   I'm ditching my maiden name, because my middle name has meaning to me. Plus, my maiden name really doesn't work as a middle name. I did consider making my maiden name my new middle name, but I quickly decided that wasn't an option I liked, so the only thing changing is my last name. :]

   I'm taking his last name...I feel that's the "right" thing to do (yes I know there's no "right") but I couldn't imagine not taking his. That's one of the big things about getting married for me, having his name :) Plus, I think it's an awesome last name and my initials won't change! lol

   I'm just adding "de Hislastname" on the end of mine. He threw a fit, tears and all when I mentioned not changing my last name. I'm hispanic and have no family left so keeping that part of me and passing it onto our children was really important to me. After that idea bombed, I suggested hyphenating, a fit was thrown about…

   I'm going to not decide for a while and spend a few months trying everything out to see what feels right before making a final decision. It's not like you can ONLY change your name when you get married -- you could wait months or YEARS to change it. I figure that as long as I'm decided by the time we have kids, I'm good.

   We're both just keeping all of our names as-is. No changing at all.
