> Once upon a time, back in the old days, women would take their husband's last name and bump their own maiden name up to their middle name. My grandmother, for example, was Helen Ida Hyle before she got married, and Helen Hyle Helwig after. I thought that would be really cool to do- Amber Day Sumner would be a really neat name- but I like my middle name too much, and I didn't want to deal with four names. So Amber Rebekah it is.

I've never really liked my last name (Baker is so bland) so I've always wanted to take on the last name of my future-husband. And I was named after my mom (Diane), so I don't want to get rid of my middle name (Diane). I've always questioned at what name I'd keep, and I think I just decided that I'll keep Diane.
