    Could you have surname A as your middle name? I did this after I got divorced but didn't want to go back to Halfie A B so changed to Halfie B A :)

    I did think about doing this, but as I was quite young when I married the first time, the person that I remember with that name isn't the person I am now.

    There is probably more of that person left than you realise. I do not believe that we become different people, rather that we just evolve a little with age and life experience. I too have evolved over the years but still have the same name - but then I am male and also proud to bear my family name.
