What's in a Name...

I don't know what to change my name to. Some people may think this is ridiculous, but I really don't know what to do.

To clarify, I will be taking the hubs' last name. There was never a question about that, and obviously I'm going to keep my first name the same. But what to do with the middle? Do I just go the traditional route and drop my last name completely, becoming mrs. first given-middle new-last? Or do lose the given middle and become mrs.first maiden new-last? OR do I go all out and become mrs. first given-middle maiden new-last?

It probably shouldn't be such an issue, but I really can't decide which to be. I like the name I've had all these years, and am reasonably attached to it, but at the same time, I'm married and very much want to take my husband's last name. So where is the compromise? I don't like the hyphens, so it's just a matter of me making up my mind.

Luckily, we haven't gotten our certified marriage license yet, so I don't have decide for another day or two...
