Maiden vs married name

Question

I want the names of females to show as their birth names not their married names.  My married females are displaying their married name and then "former ..." whatever their birth name is.  This is not the way other family trees work.  Is there a setting that I am not seeing that will let me change the display of names?

 

Thanks.

Eileen

Following is link to naming conventions to further explain why the decision was made not to use birth names as the primary heading for women:
