I have gone by my middle name my entire life and I'm sick of it. I am constantly having to explain to people that I am "A" on paper when I introduced myself as "B" when I met them. My question is when I get married can I drop my first name instead of my middle name and make my maiden name my new middle name? So if my maiden name was Jane Elizabeth Doe, and I marry John Smith, my new name would be Elizabeth Doe Smith.
