I'm still not sure which one I want to choose for a new last name. I'm also not sure if I want to change my middle name while I'm, at it. I keep thinking of all of these ridiculous names I could choose and then laughing to myself, like an idiot, on the floor. Self-amusement aside, my concern at this point is how much of a complicated mess will it be to have to go around and deal with things like my bank, credit cards and so on with a name change. Reality remains though, I do not want to keep my married name as a divorced person...it's not as though we have children in common or anything. There is no reason for keeping it. Also, I doubt I'll end up changing my middle name.
I changed my surname when I got married and again when I got unmarried. Pain in the arse. It took at least a year each time with all sorts of government red tape. Then I also changed my legal name after trauma. It's so complicated and frustrating. Years later, things still pop up that I need to change so I'm not held in limbo legally. That being said, I think you should do it, 100%. Don't bear a name you don't want especially if you don't have children.
