I wanted to keep both my middle and maiden name as my legal name, but to add the new last name (of my fiancee) as a fourth and final name. I do not want to do any hyphens...just have my middle name be two names made up of my middle and maiden names after I marry...anyhow I completed the marriage lic. application and it only asked my intended surname for after I marry...which I repled would be my fiancee's last name.
Now I am told by a friend I liklely messed this up and now cannot incorporate my maiden name legally unless I go to court. Any idea on how to fix?? have I lost my last name temporarily for good?? My marriage lic. is already done and at the town hall to be picked up. But they are closed today!
Re: another name change question...
My recommendation is to decide exactly how you want your name printed though-- just 1 middle initial or 2? I had them do my drivers license as First MM Last, so two middle initials, and I wish I just did the one. My credit cards just have my middle initial, not my maiden name initial. I think I made things harder for myself.
[QUOTE]<strong>I filled out the marriage license like you did, then at SSA told them I wanted First Middle Maiden Newlast. It took a little longer for her to fill out the card properly, since I think it's just longer than usual, but it went through no problem, no court required, no extra fees.</strong> Posted by Karen's MOH[/QUOTE]
I did exactly this --- didn't have a problem having my name First Middle Maiden NewLast but on my license I only have First Maiden NewLast... two middle names seemed confusing on paperwork but officially I have two middle names.

It's funny-- it's such a small thing, and really, you are going to be the only one who even knows you kept your name in there, but somehow it made such a big difference for me! I always wanted to change my name, but I just couldn't quite part with my maiden name. But my middle name is also a family name, so... an obnoxious 4 name name :)
