Decision to Change or Not Change Your Name After Marriage

We got the official copy of our marriage license in the mail yesterday and I still can't decide if I should change my last name sometime next month- July.

It is so hard to decide since there are many name change options available for married couples today. I'm thinking of either use my maiden name as middle name along with my husband's last name. Or create a new name. Oh my, decisions, decisions..

Are you going to change your last name after marriage? Keep your last name or Hyphenate your two names?
name change, name change after marriage, hyphenate last name

I'm in the process of changing mine and wow do I wish I had just left it alone. There are soooo many hurdles and issues with each place I've called/gone to. Everyone wants different things and nothing seems to be good enough. It's really frustrating. I hope others aren't having the issues that I'm having

I did a legal name change, not an assumed name change where it has his last name on my new birth certificate. It was simple to do and it was really easy afterwards to change everything with the change of name certificate. I chose his name because there is so much bad blood in my family that I wanted to leave it behind and move forward in my new life and family. Also I was not established in my career to confuse people by a name change so that's a bonus.
