We did before the wedding, but not much after. I can't decide what feels "right" yet :( suze – You’ve probably already had a few conversations with Mike about this, and discussed it quite a bit?

But now there are at least two other people on the web with my name, and "how many of me" says there are 4 people with my name in the US. So I'm not as unique as I thought. Which blows my #1 arguement for keeping my name "but Honey, I can't change my name, I'm the only Susan Mylastname out there." Of course, when I check my first name with Mike's last name, there is only approximately "one" of "me" in the US. But google shows there are a few Susan Hislastnames out there (including a translator/writer who lives in Italy. If I take Mike's last name can I have her seemingly amazing and glamourous life?!) As for taking his name (Stephen's in your case, Mike's in mine) I think you have to do whatever feels right for you. Because, you are, afterall the one who will 'wear' the name...

I wish there was an easy way to do it. I can't even find the right info to figure it out! Stephanie - That would be cool if you could do a search to see how many bloggers have your name! Alice - 540k? That does seem like a lot! I don't know any other Alices... right now I can't even think of a famous Alice! Lisa - WOAH! You must have a common maiden name! I suppose Lisa is a more common name too though :) Cat. - Nothing wrong with that ;) beth – I think that is where the process STARTS now… but I am not sure about the rest.

But I'm getting used to it... ;) martymankins - 1 of 1! Horray! You're the only Marty I know! I am surprised the name is so common.
