I love my middle name so I'm not changing it. I don't want to have 4 names so I'll just be changing my last name to FI's last name and dropping my maiden all together.
Same one I was born with (which is already hyphenated,ugh!). Im not keeping my maiden name. I will be Aubergold_Middle Name1-Middlename2_Mr.AubergoldLastname
I'm not sure! I'm struggling with this too. I'm thinking about actually combining my middle/last to be one word (it works, I promise), and just having one middle name and FI's last. I might just keep both, though.
I'll probably keep my original middle name. I have thought about later on though actually changing my middle name to my grandmother's last name to honor her since I'm not particularly attached to my middle name but that'd be separate from the wedding since I found out I'd have to apply for that. As of right now though I'll keep my middle name and just drop my last name.
You can't change your middle name (or add to it) in Missouri without a separate court order. Pain in the butt basically. I kept my original name, although i had wanted to change it. Two of my friends were given two middle names at birth though!
I love my maiden name .... I don't want to hypen it , so i think i'm going to use maiden name as the new middle.
I actually have 2 middle names already, and I love them both so much they're my weddingbee username :)
So mine will be FirstName Anne Tossy NewLastName. I'm just completely dropping my maiden name.
I kept my middle name the same. I hyphenated my last name with his.
I kept my original middle name, took his last name, and dropped my maiden name. It surprised me when I really thought about it how more attached I was to my middle name than to my maiden name. I didn't want to deal with four names, so the maiden name was the one to go.
I do, however USE my maiden name from time to time...like on my resume. My name on my resume is MyFirst MyMaiden Hislast. It's just not my legal name. I still think of it as mine though.
I never had a middle name.
When I was naturalized I opted to keep my Chinese first name even though everyone knows me by a English (similar sounding) name, have regretted it!
So I decided with marriage I would legally change my first name and since I was paying for that anyway I decided to take my maiden as my middle name.
I quite like my new name! It flows really well. :)
It's been a PIA changing it though but hopefully by next week I can finally go change it at SS, DMV, etc.
I kept my original middle and dropped my madien completely. Honestly - I never would have even considered doing it any other way.
I kept my original middle name and dropped my maiden name. However, I'll continue to use my maiden name professionally.
I changed my middle name to my "maiden" name when I changed names at the Social Security office. I did so primarily for the benefit of my students and because all my degrees are in my maiden name.
I'm going to be dropping my original middle name and replacing it with my maiden name. I already have two first names and my middle name is a pretty meaningless filler name I never use. So I will be "First-Name MaidenName MarriedName."
I'm pretty attached to my maiden name, but I didn't want any more hyphens and I really like the idea of sharing a name with my future husband and our future family. This way my maiden name will still be a part of my legal name, but won't ever be used.
I love my middle name and my last name, but want to have the same last name as FI. I'm planning on keeping my middle name and adding my maiden name as a second middle name so I'll be FirstName MiddleName MaidenName MarriedName (:
First name & Hubbys last name. No middle name.
Bye bye original last name :(
I love my middle name and hate my maiden name, so I will be taking his last name, dropping my maiden name and keeping my middle name.
My middle name is of massive sentimental importance - I was given the name of my father's sister who died in early childhood. If it weren't very important to me to keep that part of my name, I would replace my middle name with my fiance's last name. I am committed to keeping my last name, but like the idea of adding his somewhere (plus the flow of First His Mine is much, much better than the other way around... on the off chance we have children, this is what they will get. Pets, too, but I don't think they'll care much either way). It seems like an awful lot of trouble to legally add a second middle name no one will ever see anyway, though, so I'm not changing anything.
I dropped my middle and took my maiden as my middle for professional reasons
My first name - my middle name - his last name.
My current last name would be a horrible middle name lol.
@DeathByDesign: I didnt think of this before now too.
I think Im right there with ya in dropping my maiden name all together.
I may just change my middle name to my maiden. I love it and I don't want to be without it, but want to accept my fiance's last name. So, I think that'll be best the choice for me. Otherwise, my name would be too long.
I kept my middle name and added my maiden name as a second middle name. I loved the idea of this before I changed it...now I'm realizing what a hassle it is. For some odd reason, explaining to people when filling out documents that you have TWO middle names is a source of major confusion. lol
I got rid of my middle name completely and instead added my maiden name and my mom's last name as a second middle name since I'm much closer to her family than my dad's so that last name actually has more significance to me than my own maiden name. And now I share a last name with my hubby.
I've learned, though, for the most part the world and computer systems are SOOOO confused by people with 2 middle names so it can be a hassle at times.
I was going to change my middle name to maiden name, but I was told by social security that I had to have a court order to change anything other than my last name, so just took my husband's last name and left it at that.
I dropped my middle name, took my maiden as my middle, and took my husband's last name (FirstName Maiden HisLast).
I debated keeping my middle and making my maiden a second middle name (because I like my maiden), but all four names together seemed like overkill, so I dropped the middle.
I don't have a middle name so I am moving my maiden name over to the middle name slot and taking my FIs last name.
@JamaicaBride: Same here.
I'm excited to no longer be name deficient. :)
I don't have a middle name and my current last name sucks, so I'll be taking his last name and never looking back. :)
I have: First name Middle name Maiden Name-Married Name.
Our kids have a first and middle name. Their last name is my maiden name hyphenated with DH's last name. My parents love that my kids have my side of the family's last name in their name.
When the boys marry, their wives last name will be Sm***-St*******. My DD said that when she gets married, she'll just add on another hyphen to her last name! So she will be J**** E******** Sm***-St*******-NewLastName. I said she's going to carry one heck of a long last name!!! She said she didn't care! Love that girl!!!
@McVerde: I have 6 siblings and every stinking one of them has a middle name so it makes me feel especially left out 
. Then again, my dad doesn't have a middle name either and my name is derived from his so that make it a little better.
I dropped my middle (wasn't too attached) and now my maiden is my middle name. I've heard it's a Southern thing to do it that way. I was really surprised to see most people didn't!
It's kind of a problem because of the way Montana's drivers' licenses are. On the first line is the last name, and the second is the first and middle. So it looks like:
Lastname
Firstname Middlename
So when people look at it, they usually just see "firstname middlename" which sounds like a full name cause it's my old last name and tell me that my ID isn't right or I've given them the wrong one!
i HATE my middle name and i am sad that i am losing my dad's last name so i will be changing my middle name to my dad's last name.
First Name, Maiden, His Last
UGH!! I have always had a love-hate relationship with my last name. It's very German, my grandpa was the first person in his family to be born on Canadian soil. So although its a huge PIA to spell and pronounce, it's part of my heritage and I am very reluctant to let go of it. I'm not married yet, but I don't know what to do. When I was younger I couldn't wait to get married so I could change my name!
I love love love my last name and like the sound of my first and middle together, so I will be keeping both in the form of MiddleName-MaidenName. A hyphen seems easier to me since I can still have the same middle initial.
If I really could choose I'd have my middle name added as part of my first name.
My maiden name is now tacked onto my middle name. Technically I now have 5 names, but they make me ME. :)

There are a lot of posts about people changing their last names after marriage; this post is about what you decided to do with your middle name. I kept my original middle name and added my maiden name as a second middle (then I took my husband's last name). It seems like this double-middle name is becoming more and more a common choice. What did you or do you plan to do?
