I got married at 25 and had Alex at 25. Both boys have hyphenated surnames but I've kept my own for work purposes (and because I don't want to be called "Podger" when I'm a larger girl.... and besides, who'd give up "Devine"???)
I do get some queries about the surname thing, but when I explain, they understand. It does give me the irrits, though. I mean, it's modern these days...
I get more irrits though when people assume we're not married because the boys have hyphenated surnames! I wear a rock too!
