   I am getting a little stuck on this too...my brother has decided not to have children. My fiance's brother has had a baby...who is chronically ill and may not have a quality life if it survives the first year at all :( Fiance is Mexican, last name Ortiz Patino (fathers last name, mothers last name respectively).

   How are you planning or are you planning to change your name? Hyphens, keep middle, keep maiden, etc? I hear it's really complicated to hyphenate or have four names (First, Middle, Maiden, Married).

   I hyphenated my last name, and it wasn't complicated at all. It just requires a little bit of clarity when you go to change it; a lot of people automatically assumed that I would be dropping my maiden name and taking my husband's last name.

   First Middle Maiden, no change. Fi has 4 names (First Middle Middle Last) and he's fairly attached to all of them, so we'll just have completely different names. Fine with me.

   Ok I have a question for those First, Middle, Married girls. Did you drop your maiden name completely when you filled out the paperwork? How does this work on forms that ask for your maiden name? I'm just starting to research this. I'm very attached to middle name but no real regard to current last name. Just a little…

   I kept my maiden. I've had it for 56 years now, and I have a professional reputation (written two books, etc.) under it. And even if I didn't already have these things, I would want to be able to develop them under a name I'd be sure to be able to keep, even if my spouse died, left me, etc.
