Is anyone leaving their Maidan Name Just for Work?

Im curious if I am the only one ...

I am changing my name everywhere - on my license, SS card, credit cards, bank statements, paycheck, benefits etc., etc.

BUT - I am leaving my work email address as is. I just dont want to go through the hassle of emailing the whole company that my name has changed....

Anyone else doing this?

I am seriously contemplating this because I deal with a lot of clients and it would be a pain to inform hundred of them about my name change.

I am doing the same exact thing.

My email address will remain the same but I will change everything else. I hyphenated my auto signature though.

When I changed my name my email was set up so that email sent to my maiden name email came to my married name email and when I replied it went out with my married name. If you don't change it you will have to use your maiden name on faxes as well. Get the IT guy busy.

I changed it but, I wish I didn't!

Luckily, my external email address still works so people can find me. Unfortunately, it's a bit confusing to some of the people internally (I deal with a lot of people across our organization and there were a few I missed with my name - change email - people I only deal with occasionally). I've been with my company for 9 years now and even the people who got the email and see me frequently have problems remembering the new last name.

I left my email as-is... It's actually only 1 letter of a difference anyway. It's my first name and maiden Initial. For one letter it is totally NOT worth it to go through all your clients, IMO. I did however change the signature and name that shows up when u send out emails.

didn't change anything... legally or otherwise.... becuase of work. I already am published, and it would make literature searches on my work difficult. I also thought it would be wierd to get my checks and grants in my new legal name, yet be called my former name by co-workers and collaborators..... too complicated!

I didn't change it anywhere (except on my marriage license). I'm so used to my old name that I still use it on everything official including work. I'm a teacher and everybody at my school knows me by my maiden name so I want to keep it that way.
But I use his name socially (I love getting mail from friends & family with my married name on it). I may change it completely to his in the future though.
