Just thought I'd share...

after getting divorced I decided to not change my name back... thought it was a step backwards... and my maiden name sucks.

then after the diagnosis of my dad having cancer I decided I wanted to do something special for him.... (still thinking of a tattoo that reminds me of him).... but after a lot of thought I decided to change my name back to my maiden name. It'll be something he and I can share again.

Thanks for listening. :)

    Definitely not a step backwards. It was a flawed situation from what I've read on here. Going back to your name is moving forwards IMO.

    It sounds like a much better option.


    My parents divorced when I was 20, and my mom still has my last name and it seems a little awkward to me.

    Good idea... ;)

    Actually, the only reason I didn't is because it was too much of a pain in the ass. Seems like a silly tradition to (as does marriage.......now anyway) :D
