Linda, having gone from Pastor to Ficcaglia you have my sympathies! Try pronouncing that one (it's Fi-KAL-ya). I tried to keep my maiden name after I married but my new boss didn't approve and insisted on introducing me to everyone as Mrs. Ficcaglia, so I gave up. Back then keeping one's maiden name was unusual, but even now, a friend who retained her name after marriage was forced to bring her marriage certificate to prove the relationship during some sort of legal contract they were embarking on as a couple!
