Thought this was a good board to ask this question.
Happily married for 15 years - changed my name and wish I hadn't. I am thinking of adding it back in - so still keeping dh's surname, but putting my maiden name in front of it. I would probably take my two (ridiculous, pretentious, never used, impossible to fit onto forms) middle names out at the same time. I am not remotely attached to my middle names and miss my maiden name - it is a very commonplace name from the country I am from and want to maintain that connection. I regret taking this part of my identity away when I got married.
Is this a strange thing to do when not separating/divorcing? Will people read more into it than there is?
