To all the married/soon to be married women out there:
What are/were your thoughts on changing your name? I've always envisioned myself as Dr. MyLastName, and am trying to decide what I should do when I get married fourth year. Do people keep their last name for professional purposes [like actresses ] ? hyphenate? take their spouses name?
My other concern is that my fiance's last name is VERY common [ie: Smith]. I know I wouldn't have to deal with name confusion in the hospital with my current last name, etc.
Thoughts?!?
