I took my ex husbands name when we married and didn't really think about keeping my own. We already had a son and had given him his fathers surname. At the time it seemed to signify that we were a 'family'. When we divirced I decided to revert to my maiden name because I wanted to 'mark' my single staus. I had been known by my married name professionally for many years and it was a bit of a hassle at the time to notify folk but they soon got used to it and now I am as well known by my maiden name. This thread got me thinking tho' because I now think I would be reluctant to give up my name again and I'm not really sure why...getting a bit set in my ways perhaps.I
