If when they are older, they decide they want to switch it, let them make that decision. ?? To the OP, i'd say go with one sounds cooler. I don't think matters a great deal, she should do what she feels best about. Yeah - a cool name! Like "Superfast", or "Ultrawoman"! Ooo, ooo - how about "Thundercat"? Those would be really cool names! Unless she has a "name" in her industry, I would say go back to the maiden name. I have a friend who goes by her maiden name professionally, even though she got married before med school. She is still with her husband, and for social things, uses his name. But I think it makes sense to use the maiden name for professional purposes. Of course, when they would get together with her co-workers, people would call him "Mr. X" instead of his last name. But her licensing and professional name is all tied with her maiden name. |
