How are you listing CCNA on your resume now that the name has changed?

Have you amended to reflect the new certification name? Cisco Certified Network Associate Routing and Switching is a bit long winded IMO so I have just kept mine listed as CCNA.

Just curious as to what other CCNAs are doing...

I'd just put CCNA unless you have one of the specializations.

I would list it in the Certification section of the Resume

CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) 05/13

I don't have many certs. So I will abbreviate it once I get 3 or more.

I used to just put CCNA but now I list it as CCNA Routing and Switching.

With only one CCNA achieved or planned, I will stick to the simple "CCNA" for now. If you took the new version of the exam, and that's your highest certification, I'd somehow convey "Took the updated/harder 200-series exam." That way your extra effort and knowledge above your competition is clear even to employers scanning resumes.

As I have two CCNA's - I list CCNA: R&S, Security.

How would you advise someone do that and do you think that it would really be of benefit to someone to distinguish themselves like that?

Considering people within Cisco don't even know of the change I will just put CCNA still.

"CCNA - Cisco Certified Network Associate - April 2013"
(Note: I took the brand new and more in-depth 100-101 and 200-101 exams!)

If your highest certification is the CCNA, then sure. It marks you as more knowledgeable than other CCNAs, and perhaps is an indication you took the time to build a strong foundation rather than seeking out the easiest pass. It's a good talking point in an interview, and you could find websites/posts backing it up in a Google search. I could and would sell it.
