    I have no particular attachment to my current surname, it's fairly common, and also Welsh and I'm not. It's also my dad's name, and we don't speak. So I'm looking forward to being rid of it.

    But I'm keeping it for work purposes - in my job it's an advantage to be untraceable, so a common name that I don't use for anything else is a good thing.

    between me and my brothers we have three different surnames so my mum has double barrelled so as to keep a tie with us all! we are Ward-Mann, Ward and Towler so my mum is Towler-ward! It gets tricky when there are kids involved i guess.

    For me it's easy...i'm keeping my maiden name professionally as it would be too costly and painstaking to re-brand but i'm changing to his name privately even though it's a rubbish name....Faint (awfull)

    I'm keeping my name for work until I leave this job to save them the hassle of changing all my logins etc but outside I can't wait to dump it and become Mrs Atkinson. My name always confuses people in the UK, it's a German name and no one ever knows how to spell or pronounce it, it's SO annoying!

    I am changing my name straight away. Although if I was working in a school instead of a college (first name terms with students) I would be keeping my name at work until I changed schools. But all my work emails etc are based on my initials which aren't changing so it will be nice and easy!
