Women Using Their Maiden Names & Then Their Married Ones.
33 Answers
Probably this a fairly recent trend, but is there any reason (social
media) or otherwise for married ladies inserting their maiden names
between their first names & married ones?
I have a daughter who uses her first name, her maiden name (my name)
& then her married name.
A daughter-in- law meanwhile uses her first name,then her married
name (my surname) but no mention of her maiden name.
Obviously a personal choice but any explanation?

I am the last of my branch of the Hughes's - my step-daughters never took my name, and my youngest, who has it, will probably re-marry next year, so our branch dies right there.
Should I care?
Not at all!!
I can understand someone like Victoria Coren Mitchell - she has created a career under her maiden name, and may wish to keep it, but people like that are the exception.
