what is in a name??

Sunday paper had an article about women keeping their maiden name which is something I wanted to do originally way back when 14 years ago. I like my maiden name not too many people floating around with it I was also kinda use to it and all. My one mention of not taking David's surname was not well received and I dropped it ultimately not so important to me and having a kid it is easier all having the same last name...in this day and age of blended families I am not sure why I find that important but I do. Yet I still find myself looking around for my MIL when when I am called Mrs So & So
