It'll stay the same length and same first 2 letters. I'm thinking I'll have some trouble signing my new name because muscle memory will want to sign my maiden name.

Sweet and short, just like my maiden name. I’ll be Mrs. Garcia

If I change it, it’ll go from 7 letters to 5. Both easy to pronounce, but for some reason hard to spell. So I’d still be spelling it for people. I’m more concerned with making a decision about changing it or not than with how long it is. (I will not hyphenate, it’s all or nothing.)

Longer. I'm hyphenating so I will be adding 5 letters to my already 10 letter last name.
