I've had it for almost 25 years and I'm attacehd! The problem then becomes...do my kids have a hyphenated name? Or just my husband's name...and then our last names don't match? It's a tough decision.

The internet world was easier to get my nickname across. I still have people who call me Nile or Nicole. However, I have had the nickname for over 15 years now... so it is comfortable. I let people choose what to call me by. Now that I am divorced, I introduce myself as Nile Flores, but on the checks, it is still Nile or Nicole Lipscomb-Flores. (the signature is pretty much similar since it is one scribble reminiscent of a doctor's chicken scratch siggie...lol. Not my fault. I blame my father, the Physcian Assistant that inspired me to go crazy with my signature.) Anyway, I pretty much have kept consistent on how I introduce myself. As long as I act the same as usual, those I associate with can call me whatever they like. :) Well, I ended up hyphenating my name. The internet world was easier to get my nickname across.
