For various reasons, many women use their maiden names professionally, even though married. In fact even if they are married BEFORE acquiring the professional status (doctor, lawyer, nurse, corporate position, any job) they might still use their maiden name.
I think it great, have no problem with it. (I have family members who have done so, in fact)
So.....if a person is in the very same position, job, calling, etc. is it at all confusing, normal practice to change their professional name upon marrying or divorcing?
And yes, I am thinking about Kayla, who earned her MD with the last name of Johnson out in CA, came to Salem using that name, was named Chief of Staff at Salem Hospital with the name, and even still was using it after the divorce, but now is suddenly using her maiden name.
Do people do this?
