I've never had any substantial problems with keeping my name, but the
trivial problems are frequent. They are not usually of the form of
explaining to repairpeople/salespeople/etc. that we have two different
names but REALLY are married. They are usually bookkeeping problems:
book the car in for repair in one name, call for it using the other.
Medial records suddenly appearing in the wrong name. Reminding
schools/daycare arrangements about using your name instead of child's
last name....

Even aften 10 years, I still haven't come up with a reliable way to
manage this so that I don't confront it regualarly. BUT, I don't care very
much either. And no one else seems to.
