    That is exactly the reason I wanted to keep mines Christina! I am working on my PhD and working on Certificates now. I will be married before finishing though. That is why I wanted to hyphenate mine :-( But Future hubby is so traditional.

    I would just suggest that unless future hubby allows you to choose his name after marriage, he has no right to choose your name after marriage.

    I've kept FirstName MiddleName MaidenName as my name.

    First name, current middle name, hubby's last name ... I'm so traditional ... plus my degrees are in my maiden name but I'm just studying education so it's not that important I don't think ...

    If I combined my current last name with my new last name, I would have the World's most made fun of name SO I will be completely dropping my last name and using my middle name and his last name.

    I'm pretty happy to get my future hubby's last name. As much as I don't hate my last name... I like his soooo much better. Plus I have two middle names....

    Audra June Marie Ehler-Carroll would be way too long.

    It use to be that you would forgo your middle name. it would be firstname maidenname hubbylastnight. maybe you could do that?

    I am doing firstname middlename hubbylastnight

    I'm doing First Name, Middle Name, and Married Name. My oldest sister ended up doing First Name, Middle Name, Maiden Name-Married Name because her husband's last name was the same as her first name, lol and it started causing confusion.
