I went back to maiden name and I was going to hyphenate my daughters name. After all I gave birth, I had no way in our marriage ending and I hated that my daughter was going to have the same last name as the AP ( they got married)
In the end. I have maiden name, I would never change it again if I got married, I never hyphenated my daughters name because I didn’t want her to have to deal with that headache. The school has always called me Mrs. married name even when we weren’t because they just assumed.
And in the end, it’s just a name.
Its just a name. To her its her brand for her business more importantly. 7 years of hard work. She used her maiden name as her middle when we married.
