Any suggestions?

Flip a coin. Oh, I guess that's three choices!
Well, I had a friend who went back to her maiden name because she was afraid of her ex and didn't want the police to respond slower because it sounded like a domestic incident that would likely be dropped. Sure enough, he came over a raped her in front of her sons one night.
So this is a consideration.
Another is your career, have you developed a reputation under your married name you'd like to keep. Yet another is children. Do you think it's important to have the same name as your children. If neither of these is a consideration, you may drop the married name.
Do you just want an easier name to remember or one that flows more trippingly on the tongue? Then change you name to anything you want.
But you might check with your parents to see if not going back to your maiden name (or some abbreviation of it) will hurt their feelings.

I hated my maiden name so I kept my first married name until I remarried.
If you don't like your maiden name, be sure to pick one that is easy to spell. You'll have to notify Social Security and the Drivers License office of your change.

I think you should go back to your maiden name. It is a part of you and you grew up with it. But if you want a new one go for it. I would keep mine though

If you like it, go back to it. If you don't pick a new one. It doesn't cost anything to change back however you will have to pay to change your name to something other than your maiden or married name. You also don't have to change your married name if you don't want to, many women keep their name the same either because they are established with that name, like Faith Hill. Hill is her ex's last name. Or because they like it, period. I myself never liked my maiden name.

I would go with my maiden name, just because of all you would have to change. But if you really don't like it then do whatever will make you the happiest.

Do you have a problem with your maiden name? My mom kept her married name when she divorced because it was a lot easier than switching everything around again.

unless your husband's family name was trump (which no woman on earth would delete on divorce), go back to your maiden name! I'm sure it gives you a sense of independence, freedom and self-esteem :) and by erasing your husband's name, you can move on with your life more easily and try erase this whole unfortunate chapter of your life... :P
