My name was Heather Lynn Bowers!

I guess everyone does it differently! My mother and my grandmother both dropped their middle name and used their maiden name as their middle name, so that is what I did. Like I said earlier, my mother-in-law dropped her maiden name and uses her original middle name and new last name.

I am sure it is just whatever you want to do. Matter of personal preference.

I hadn't ever heard of keeping your maiden name as your middle name. I just changed my maiden last name to my husband's last name.

That's so funny how everyone does it differently. I thought it was strange to keep your middle name and drop your maiden name. I dropped my middle name and my maiden name became my new middle name and my hubby's last name is my new last name.
