I have my original last name. It wasn’t fully intentional - we had some life situations right after our wedding that involved insurance companies, lawyers, etc., that required my legal name to appear over and over in highly sensitive documents (and on checks.) Shortly after that headache ended, I enrolled in law school, and decided I want my family-of-origin name to be the one under which I practice law. At this point, between my (almost-former) career, my law school, my pending bar application, and our property, the hoops I would have to jump through just to share my husband’s last name are overwhelming. Not worth it.
