Menage à Trois Bingo

I've been thinking, off and on for some years, about changing my name
legally. I'm still not sure what my parents would make of it, and I
don't know how much that matters to me, but one of the other reasons I
haven't done it is I've never figured out what my surname ought to be. I
don't feel any real connection to the one I use now, because it's my
ex-husband's name. I didn't really want to change my name when we got
married, but he seemed to have stronger feelings on the issue than I
did, so I gave in. Now I keep it mostly out of inertia; I don't want to
return to the one I was born with; it's a fine name--though I suffered a
lot of teasing as a child over it--but I'm not that person anymore, and
changing to something else was not an option at the time of the divorce.
I was told it would be a separate legal issue.

The name I've thought most about changing to is "Maple". It represents
strength, permanence, growth and nature. I once did some internet test
that assigned trees based on one's birthday, and I liked the description
it picked for me. But the word itself doesn't quite grab me for some
reason. Part of the problem is I keep thinking of Marla Maples, and
that's not an association I want in any respect.

Today I had a new thought. What about "Semper"?
