Comments on: The dilemma of a name, mine in particular http://www.16thletter.com/2009/01/22/the-dilemma-of-a-name-mine-in-particular/ Thoughts on how the Internet intersects with work, play & life Sun, 20 Feb 2011 17:30:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Denise Dubie http://www.16thletter.com/2009/01/22/the-dilemma-of-a-name-mine-in-particular/#comment-5125 Denise Dubie Thu, 29 Jan 2009 20:18:14 +0000 http://www.16thletter.com/?p=587#comment-5125 If I ever get married, I would legally change my name, but as far as my byline and work, I will always be Dubie. But having a family similar to yours -- we often speak of the Dubies with strange reverence -- it would be odd to also be known under another moniker. Of course, as it stands now, there is no danger in that happening. If I ever get married, I would legally change my name, but as far as my byline and work, I will always be Dubie.

But 6 years later, I still haven't made the change. It really can be a dilemma for women today. I know I made the right choice for me, but I can definitely see both sides of the situation.

Don't have to worry about potential name changes and the like. of course, you could have gone with Reyen-Chang, then we could call you RC to really confuse things.
