1701. Re: 2 middle names? Dilemma

      

      Reply by Maggie0829 · October 2012 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

      As someone who has always had 4 names (first, 2 middle and a last) you will not make things more difficult for yourself. For my entire life, whenever I had to sign anything I always signed it first, first middle and last. The second middle name was really only listed on my birth certificate and social security card. Unless…

      What a pain! I looked into changing my last name in CA because I changed my mind about my last name after the wedding. lol. I hyphenated on our marriage license, but realized after the fact that it looked funny. I wanted to move my last name to my middle name (and have 2 middle names). When I called the Hawaii marriage…

      I had the same feelings as you and ended up keeping my maiden name as my 2nd middle name. I don't use my second middle name for everything, it only appears on legal documents like SS card, drivers license, marriage license, school loans, mortgage, etc. I don't typically sign my name with two middle initials and I only…

      i don't see what the bfd is about last names. keep, change, both change. it's not a bfd. i kept my last name, and it doesn't bother anyone. i'm the only one among the inlaws with the maiden name. and i don't care that baby mo has a "different" last name -- that's not what makes him my kid. and it's 2014 AD. a school has…

      I hate FI's last name. I asked him to change his last name to mine, he wasn't game, in fact, I think it pissed him off. Oops. I'm never going to get used to it. When I hear "Mrs. So and So" I'm gonna look over my shoulder for his mom. Sigh.

      I already planned for the fact that most people wouldnt know what to put for the M_____ so I had it changed to Name(s): _____ and then put return address labels on all of them so I would know who it came from even if they didnt fill in the name line. I made my invites dummy proof. lol.

      It's possible to just wait until you get married and apply for a passport, but it could potentially be stressful and cost you more money (expiditing fees). After you are married, you'll need a certified copy of your marriage license to be able to change anything, which can take up to a month to just get that. Then you'll…

      Timing varies from state to state, so check with your local clerk's office. I just googled Indiana Marriage License, and it came right up (I live in IN). I know for flights you have to have your ID match the name on your ticket--so I won't be changing my name until after the honeymoon.

      Just because you get married doesn't mean that your name magically changes. I'm married and I'm still legally my maiden name No name changes take effect until you walk into the Social Security Office and tell them you want to change your name. You've don'e everything correctly (tickets and passport in maiden name). Change…

      Queen Elizabeth didn't change her last name and her kids took her last name (and subsequently so did her grandkids). Your hypothetical kids could take his last name, your last name or you could hyphenate them. If your FI doesn't want to change his name that's his choice, just like it's your choice whether you change your…
