Names

VERSUS

I haven't changed my name officially yet, I'm waiting to do that when we get to Virginia. It was a residency issue for dental/grad school if we ended up in Texas: I didn't want to give up in-state tuition if we needed it. I am facing "the big name change" once we arrive in Virginia. I don't want to have two middle names - thus I need to choose between keeping my middle name as my middle name - Brooke - or my maiden name. Right now I'm leaning towards my maiden name, I think it sounds nicer and it contributes more to my identity than Brooke, but I've always like Brooke as a middle name. I'm a little torn...what would you choose?
