Never, ever Ms for me! Happy to be Mrs.

I was more than happy to take my husbands name, it was nicer and less common than mine. But hand on heart, even after almost 50 years, and no matter what the situation I still really dislike being called Mrs!

I think Ms is a fairly general term I use Ms if I have to have a title as a divorcee I m certainly not a miss but technically not a Mrs either I prefer not to use a title but occasionally for a bank etc you have to

It's ridiculous (IMO) And what's it going to do to future generation researching family trees? Will be so confusing.

not taking your husbands name. I know this is not that uncommon now. Are you Ms. Miss or Mrs. It's a bit odd calling yourself Mrs (Your maiden name), sounds a bit like you married yourself. Or you are your mum. Or you married your dad. Which is even worse. I think it's reasonable to be Miss or better Ms. (Your maiden name)
Any experience in your family? Thoughts?
