Going by a different name in college?

Personally, I find the two "r"s in Mara Rae (even separated by the “a” difficult to say together.) I like Rae alone, and Mara is pretty to me (if pronounced Mahrah) but I don’t particularly like Mara if the more flat (short a) is used. YMMV! Choose the name that suits YOU! I used a nickname related to my legal name in college, then changed back in adulthood.
