Yeah, but she continued to work with Chicken Shack and even released a solo album as Christine Perfect while being Mrs. John McVie. And, maybe she did hate the last name. (I know mine annoys me, though not enough to legally change it.) But, intitially that wasn't enough to take John's name publicly.
And, after the divorce, it wouldn't have made sense for Christine to go back to Perfect, as she had just sold 21 million albums and sang lead on four top fifteen singles as Christine McVie.
