Congratulations Tony! This is an amazing step for you and I am glad HR is behind you.
Being in the paper is a big step and one you will be pondering about. I was in a similar situation: shortly before coming out to my coworkers, I was nominated (and won) a very important industry award which also comes with a nice statue. I was debating with myself if I should request a name change when they manufactured the statute. In the end, I did not change it, since the timeframe my work was done was before I came out and I wanted to avoid the hassle (and alert a ton of people).
For you, the situation is different since you are already out and I can understand your desire to be recognized as Tony in the article. I think you should go for it. Try talking to your husband upfront, I hope he is understanding.
For me, the good news is that I am nominated again, this time as Sarah. I will know more in May...
Good luck!
Hugs,
Sarah
