71. Re: Name Change Reflections

    

    Reply by phira · April 2014 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Chit Chat

    You're not the only one. I don't want to change my last name, but I kind of feel like FUCK YOU PEOPLE I'M GONNA CHANGE IT because I'm so annoyed with people who assume I'm keeping it. I do want to emphasize that we can make our own decisions without being vilified as upholding patriarchy while also criticizing the culture…

72. Changing your name?

    

    Discussion by theluckiest555 · April 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Customs & Traditions Forum

    I was just wondering what everyone was planning on doing. I really want to hyphenate my name for a number of reasons, the most important reason being that my last name is important to me, and I don't really feel like I'm becoming a part of his family (my FI and I have discussed this, and we both agree) we feel like we sre…

73. Name Change Issue - Maiden to Middle Name?

    

    Discussion by lesteele · March 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Recap and Withdrawal

    So this is a post-wedding question:For my entire life I strongly proclaimed, "if/when I get married, I will not change my last name!" I continued to feel this way through getting my doctoral degree, and starting to publish. BUT my fiance is a traditionalist: he feels very strongly about me taking his name, and not…

74. Name Changing Guilt....

    

    Discussion by LoisLane007 · April 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Chit Chat

    I am going from a VERY common 4 letter last name, to a 5 letter last name that is hardly ever spelled right, let alone pronounced right. I'm very hesitant to change my name in anyway shape or form, because I love my family. My first and middle name was given to me by my parents in honor of my Aunt with the same first two…

75. Name change/hyphenation - a little long

    

    Discussion by Glassicari · May 2010 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Gay Weddings

    Hi all....I've been lurking on and off for a while now but my fiance and I are having the same conversation over and over again and I decided we need some outside opinions. We are going to be legally changing our names to be the same - for ease in legality and other areas. She wants me to take her last name and I would…

    So if you have Navient for your loans and you've changed you Name on your SSN it doesn't update automatically. It shouldn't cause problems filing your taxes, but if you have a repayment plan based on your tax filing, and you use the system that links your returns with the repayment application you may have some problems (I…

77. Name Change

    

    Discussion by angiebear11 · April 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

    I know when my FI and I have to apply for our marriage certificate I have to put down what my new surname (if I choose to change it - which I do) is going to be, but if I change my name on the marriage certificate does that mean my name is automatically legally changed right after the ceremony? I'm asking because my FI and…

78. I'm stuck about the name changing

    

    Discussion by eileen1086 · June 2012 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

    Ok so I'm torn about my feelings about changing my name. My FI has been officially engaged once (M) before as well as unofficially once (T) but never been married. The official engagement has never bothered me but the unofficial really does. Why I say unofficial is because if I ask him about these two people he says he…

79. name change vent

    

    Discussion by KatyRoseM · July 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Not Engaged Yet

    Sorry to vent, I just need to get it out. So I decided to take DH's last name because it was important to us to have the same last name, and it would have been really hurtful to his family if he changed his (he is adopted and this made me think they might feel that changing his name was a bigger deal, some adopted families…

80. Name Changing Dilemma

    

    Discussion by FutureMrsWood2014 · August 2013 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Customs & Traditions Forum

    I want to change my name after I get married. I'm not really big on being hyphenated, I'm not against it, it's just not for me. My problem stems from the fact that I have a 4 year old from a previous relationship. She has my last name and knows her full name. I'm unsure how to go about the questions that she will have…
