thoughts on my name and work

[Emerald1486]

Going from my married name back to my maiden name at work where they only knew me by my married name...
I started my changing my signature to maidenname-marriedname. I eventually went completely to just my maiden name, but it was just a slow process.

Thanks Emerald!

Welcome! I still had a few tell me "I use to send this to Emerald MarriedName." "That's me." Or they send the email to my coworker who has the same last name as my married name. But I think the hyphenating really helped when they started seeing just my MaidenName.

I stay stick with your maiden name.

Why do you want to change now?

One of my CWs just changed her name at work for her 5-year anniversary. She got the IT folks to re-route emails from her old email to her new name's email, and she told the people she works with frequently about the name change ahead of time. If you want to change it, go for it.
