The Facebook Files, Part I

This is the first of my anticipated many posts about Facebook etiquette (or lack there of):

# 1: I see so many married women on Facebook listing their names as Ginger "Smith" Fete. This is incorrect.

Quotation marks should only be used for nicknames, as in Ginger "Fabulosa" Fete. So, if your nickname is your original last name, by all means, put it in quotes.

Otherwise, just write it punctuationless, as you would a middle name:
First OldLast NewLast.

Using italics only for emphasis,
Ginger
