I'm in the middle of a divorce right now and I did change my name. I thought I was trading up (because no one knew how to spell my old name either), but then I forgot about the implications of changing your name. A new email address if your old one has your last name in it... all the crap paperwork... not to mention the fact that I missed my old last name terribly. It was like I lost a part of myself. I'm so happy to be changing it back. I don't think I will change it again if I get remarried. If he says that means I don't love him enough (like my ex did), then I know to run far, far away.
