I kept my married name because my daughter was young and it is much easier to have the same last name as my daughter. I haven't decided if I will change it back when she graduates or not (June 2009). Afterall, I spent the early years of life trying to get people to pronounce my name correctly or spell it and dealing with:
"What country were you born in?"
:o)
Frankly, I'm not that attached to any last name. Maybe I'll just make one up and use it instead... :o)
