I haven't read every single post, so apologies if its gotten off topic or someone already mentioned this . . .

I took on DH's last name and changed my middle name to my maiden name. Make sense? It was more work to do that, but it was worth it. Of course, my maiden name was Dean, so it wasn't a strange name to make a middle name.

I go by all three names in some circles and just first and last in others. I thought it was a nice way to keep my maiden name, yet I don't have to sign papers and checks with a hyphenated last name.
