I changed my name when I married (am male). I haven't had any problems or repercussions changing names, professionally or personally. Some reasons why I changed name: 1. My kids and I now share all surnames. 2. I had no relation to any parts of the family that shared my previous last name. 3. It felt a teeny weeny bit progressive being the male who changed. Not everything is black and white and needs to focus on business needs... :) Accounts were easily renamed (except Skype, bluh) and no one has asked me for any of my papers or research. Just add them to your profile as you would before you changed name.
