ELW,

Had to mark N/A to both questions, because there was no meaningful other choice. Rodjanaa uses my surname in the USA, she uses her maiden name in her native country. So she did both - changed and didn't change.

I don't want to change my name after marriage, and was wondering how many others out there on VJ kept their name or plan to. (Is it really so rare as I think?).

I kept my maiden name as middle name, and my husband's lastname is my new lastname. So when I have to signed I put my first name, then the initial of my maiden name as middle name and then my husband's last name. In this way at least I have still a part of my family's name, I didn't want to erase it for good. I wanted to keep something from my family and from my country.
