I didn't want to drop my maiden nameWhen we got married, I was 27.
Eventually, I decided to use my maiden name as my middle name, a middle ground that would allow me to keep my old name and use a new one.
We decided that we would give any sons we had the middle name of Davis, too, and our daughters' middle names would be the maiden names of our mothers.
After our wedding, I went to the Social Security office to make my new name, Jamie Davis Smith, official.
The one certain thing is that trying to find a middle ground, using a middle name as a last name, has not worked well for me.
