Especially in my profession, when you have built a reputation and client base, etc, based on you last name, this is pretty common. But it is a very personal decision! This is my issue. Everyone in my industry know me as Susan Single, not Susan Married. And, after having my name for 32 years it's hard to let it go. It took Brad a while to understand why I want to hyphenate (yes, I'm aware that everyone who hyphenates says they want to change it to their married name, because it's a pain in the add to hyphenate).
