Mrs. MyLastName
but, I won't mind if people address me as Mrs. HisLastName.
where I live (puerto rico), its not an issue since the cultural thing to do is keep your name. I would just go from senorita to senora.
If I were to move back to the states, I would respond to either Ms. or Mrs and even Mrs. Hislastname, but haven't really given though what prefix I would prefer.
Abolutely, Ms. MyLastName. Mrs. MyLastName is my mom; Mrs. HisLastName is his mom.
And I *strongly* dislike it when someone calls me Mrs. HisLastName--especially when I've advised them that I have not changed my name.
Someone on one of these boards once posted this, which I found helpful. It's a guide from Emily Post for addressing people.

FRom what I understand, Ms. is the only proper form for married women keeping their name. Miss is only for unmarried women and Mrs. is only for those taking their husband's name.
Ms. MyLast Name, but its not a big deal if they call me Ms. Hislastname socially, though I'm keeping my last name.
I don't understand the poll- it is a poll for people who will not change their last name, but some will still go by Mrs. HisLastName? Do they mean on a casual basis? Or are those people changing their last name?
Anyway, I can't decide whether to be Ms. MyLastName or Mrs. MyLastName
@cbee: I added the "Mrs. HisLastName" because I've heard of some women who do not change their name, still go by "Mrs. HisLastName" socially - but legally - all documents, etc never actually change their name - but just use her husband's last name in social situations.
again - just interested in people's preference. :)
I didn't vote, because there wasn't an option for what we're [currently] planning on doing. We're both hyphenating, so I'll be Mrs. Hislast-Mylast and he'll be Mr. Hislast-Mylast.
I think Ms. is the correct title for any married women who kept her name--but I like it best because it doesn't change due to martial status (just like Mr.). Ms. can be either, but Miss is technically for unmarried, Mrs. for married women.
Ms. MyLast
I do correct people when they call me Mrs. HisLast....because that's his mother.
Ditto oracle! Mrs. MyLastname but I don't mind if they throw his lastname around. But fortunately, they don't refer to ppl as Mr. and Mrs. here in Sweden. It's practically all by first name basis, even formal documents when whole names are used (without the Mr. and Ms. or Mrs.)
@Professor: haha, i totally agree. i've threatened to forward any mail addressed to "Mrs. HisLastName" to his mom back home. Although I do get a kick out of the mail we've been receiving with "HisFirstName and MyFirstName HisLastName - MyLastName". I guess some people think everyone hyphenates now.
I think I'd rather just be called by my first name ;)
(I'm not changing my name and I couldn't care less what others want to call me. Seriously, just first name is cool).
I have always gone by Ms. and that won't change. Men's titles don't change based on their marital status so why should mine?

Sorry, there are no users yet.
ok - so I'm wondering...for those of you NOT changing your name when you get married, will you still go by "Mrs." or "Ms." or "Miss"?
