Saying good bye to a name

After 31 years I'm in my last few days with the name I was born with. Since I'm getting married in 7 days, and I'm in advertising, I'm, referring this to a new marketing/branding campaign.

Six months ago after becoming engaged I was conversing with my Mom on how Women are born with one name and leave with a different one. Not meaning to be morbid at all but it's a true statement. Change is good and it's how we renew ideas and keep things fresh, but it's good pay your respects to a good name.

3 great things about my maiden name:
• Maiden name falls in the middle of the alphabet
• Irish surname
• Are you related to Angie Harmon?

3 great things about my new married name:
• Youngblood will look lovely signed in the corner of my paintings
• Easy pronunciation (I've see what's out there)
• I share it with Bart


Farwell maiden name, you've served me well.
