What is in a name?

[Marta Prime]

James Singer Riley sounds very elegant!

All my life people have wanted to put an h in my name...Marta to Martha. Even the IRS! I do like the name in some ways....I mean if someone says "I ran into Marta yesterday", no one ever says "Marta who.?" It is not a name I run into very often.

I love the Prime name. It is my married name. I always kid my husband that I married him for his name! When I am introduced as a speaker in front of a group where I work, they say, "And now for a little Prime Time!" It works.

But as an Artist I don't know. My maiden name is Hamilton. Another good old English name. However, Marta Hamilton Prime does not roll trippingly off the tongue. So I sign them Marta Prime...should I just use one name?
