If your name was Katie

If your name was Katie Carty, you'd change it pretty darn quickly. I was at the social security office at 8:00 AM the day I got back from my honeymoon to get my name changed. Next stop (10 AM, June 30, 1999) was the driver's license office. And then I spent the rest of the day faxing my marriage certificate to airlines, credit card companies, and my employer.

My point: being Katie Tierney is highly preferable to being Katie Carty.

There was, however, a drawback. When I re-entered the workforce after having taken a 6-year "vacation" to have 4 little kids, I had to use both my names, because many of my colleagues only know me as Katie Carty. So professionally I am now known as Katie Carty Tierney.

And this whole comment helped you exactly zero. :) (For the record, I'd at least go with the hyphen - your future children will appreciate it).
