   1. Are you (did you) change your name or are keeping your own or hyphenating or double last name? I took his last name but considering hyphenating or using my name for work and his for personal... but when it came down to it at the marriage license office she said it's either your last name or his so I just said his! And…

   Dear Prudence, I came out and started transitioning to male right after high school. I’m now in my late 20s. While I still go by the first name I chose as a teenager, I’m “feeling it” less and less. For starters, it definitely fits that particular “drowning Victorian orphan” trans male name stereotype (think Barrington or…

3. Name change as gift to Spouse.. Lame?

   

   Discussion by MissLeahM · December 2009 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Registry and Gift Forum

   So I was trying to think of a gift to get my FI as my wedding present to him and I couldn't really decide. I know that he really wants me to change my last name to his, but I was kind of opposed to the idea. Although now I'm warming up to the idea. Would it be a lame idea for my name change to be my gift to him? Or should…

   Discussion by Mmoray · April 2012 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

   So I guess this is less of a question and more of a vent. Tonight FI and I were out to dinner with a friend, and somehow we got on the topic of dealing with the last name change after the wedding. Well, I've been thinking about that lately, and I'm about 99% certain that I do not want to take my FI's last name. I've been…

   I am the only person with my (married) name in the entire U.S. and still financial institutions were getting things wrong when I changed my name (although my maiden was pretty common, like thousands of me). I couldn't even get the annual free credit check because of my new name giving problems. But I sorted things out over…

   I just find if funny how every credit card/etc. I contact about changing has completely different standards, all from a nice "congrats! we're sending you a new card" to you have to send us XYZ before we will change your name. Anyone else experience this?

   For magazine subscriptions, I just changed the name the next time they came up for renewal. For doctors, I just changed it the next time I had an appointment. Utilities are still in my old name. Things like discount cards aren't worth changing.All my credit cards (except for Bank of America, who are a PITA) allowe me to…

   Discussion by abt87 · July 2012 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› Ohio-Cincinnati

   I got married around a month ago, and I decided that I would make my maiden name my new middle name and take my husband's name. So for example, I go from Jane Mary Doe to Jane Doe Johns according to social security administration. (I live in Ohio btw) Go to the license bureau and give them the letter from the SSA and…
