161. Re: Irrationally irritated - assumptions about last name change

     

     Reply by MairePoppy · March 2016 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Chit Chat

     You should give a pass to anyone who assumes you've changed your last name until you've corrected them. If you're sending out marriage announcements, you could enclose little cards printed with your correct names and address. You should tell the nursing home staff and your coworkers your correct name the first time they…

162. Re: Debating Name Change

     

     Reply by durga826 · May 2010 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› New York-Hudson Valley

     I'm still on the fence myself about changing my last name. I'm 44 and my name has been my name for a looooong time now! On the other hand, I do love the idea of being a Mrs. Plus, he does have kids and it would be nice if we all shared the same last name. Chances are good that I will, in the end, change my last name to his.

     Discussion by marco1j · August 2013 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Customs & Traditions Forum

     I changed my name prior to our wedding ceremony (we are recently legally married and I did the name change early). I moved my birth name to my middle name and took his last name. I've been using all 3 names professionally and I really like it! A friend asked about my name change for gift reasons, wondering if I'd be…

     Discussion by izziezerkus · January 2016 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› North Carolina

     I just got married in October and I assumed I had a choice of which name I wanted to use- first or middle.. apparently I was wrong! I have been doing research now and to change a name in NC takes like 3+ months and involves newspapers, court houses, the sheriff's office, the state bureau of investigation, and the FBI. Is…

     LOL 1 year. Most everything was changed right away with the exception of the new SS card. Most things I could do by simply showing the marriage license to the business/bank, etc. Work refused to change my name until the new SS card was presented. After a few months, DH started giving me tons of crap for not following…

166. name changing in Ohio?

     

     Discussion by effiek91 · January 2014 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› Ohio-Columbus

     Hi all. I am asking this here because I know that laws regarding name change, such as after marriage, vary from state to state. Also, Ohio is one of the 6 pesky states that requires a legal name change when adding your maiden name as a second middle name (which is what I want to do), and so I wanted to hear if anyone had…

     If you still had/have xH's name when you were/will be married, how do you feel about that being the name on your marriage license? See my post below about all this getting to me, but another source of stress is the name change. The divorce won't be final until the end of this year and the wedding is in March. That is two…

     Discussion by satrent07 · July 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Recap and Withdrawal

     I just got married a couple of weeks ago and am now starting the process of changing my name. I've always gone by my middle name (thanks, Mom and Dad!), so when someone calls me by my first name there's always confusion on my part. I would like to change my name so that my first name is completely dropped, my middle name…

     If had really liked my husband's last name I would have taken.. but I wasnt really into it, so we came to a really just compromise, we are both changing our last name to a name that we made up combining both our last names together. We plan to do it when my passport expires in march..I know very romantic!
