My name is Enma Ai and I'm a really creepy girl. I come from Hell and work for the devil or something. That means I go around appearing in people's rooms and send them to Hell because I have no sense of privacy. 

There is something about her that does not feel right at all, but he smiles nonetheless.

Hello.

Welcome, ladies, to another round of That Girly Stuff. This episode is titled, "Girl, what yo name is?" and is brought to you by the letters M and D and the number 4. 

Name changing seems to be a bigger issue for ladies in medicine, for whatever reason. Personally, when/if I get married, I’m changing my name. No hyphens. My last name isn’t hard to pronounce or weird or anything, but I’m a traditional girl and I want to take my husband’s name. Simple as that. 

But there are some issues to consider when it comes to name-changing. 

1. Are you already an established doctor before you change your name? Some women choose to keep a “professional name,” just for simplicity’s sake. It can be very confusing for patients when their doctor changes her name. 

2. Is your name difficult to pronounce? If I was formerly Dr. Szczepanski and was marrying a Smith, I would probably lean towards changing to Smith. But if I was a Jones and was marrying an Nzeogwu, I might stick with Jones, just for ease of pronunciation (especially if I lived in the South, cuz y'all know how we butcher names). 

3. Is your husband a doctor too? Because no one wants to be called He-Dopke or She-Dopke (as we called two of my chemistry professors). That whole professional name thing might be helpful in this case. 

4. Is your hyphenated name super complicated? If it's more than 2-3 syllables, folks aren't going to say it. Most people I know who hyphenated ended up being called one name or the other, even though they constantly corrected people.
