521. Married ladies: changing your name

     

     Discussion by Alyssa0421 · June 2010 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› Wisconsin

     I just want to make sure I have the process straight and didn't miss anything. We were married in Wisconsin but currently live in Minnesota. In WI, only your maiden name is on your marriage certificate, correct? I've been running into questions here in MN because brides list what their married name will be when they apply…

     Discussion by ceh789 · April 2012 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Chit Chat

     So I'm planning to change my name and I'm really not that worried about how much work it will be... except for my email address. More than anything - even standing in line at SSA - I dread changing my email address - it's everywhere. If you changed your name - did you change your email address too? What about all your…

     Discussion by fionnandlaura · October 2011 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› North Carolina

     I cannot decide what to do about my name change. I'm not a big fan of my maiden name, but it frankly sounds awful with what will be my new last name. I would prefer from that perspective to keep my middle name and drop my maiden. The only thing that makes me think I should keep my maiden name in some form is that I have…

     I found this interesting since I'm one of those brides that doesn't want to change my name for professional reasons (that and I actually love my last name and am rather attached to it, lol). http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/112736/name-change-dilemma-women-marriage-wsj?mod=family-love_money

     Good morning Knotties - Are there any brides out there not changing their names and having trouble with ceremony and reception announcements after the vows are exchanged?

528. How are you changing your name?

     

     Discussion by almgcb · February 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Chit Chat

     For those of you changing your name, how are you doing it? Up North you'd drop your maiden name and take your husbands... so it would be First Middle NewLast. But in the South, women tend to drop their middle name and make their maiden their new middle so it would be First Maiden NewLast. I'm from the North now living in…

     Discussion by schmella · August 2011 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› Illinois-Chicago

     Okay, so I've tried to see if this question has been asked, but the search function on Knot is awful. We've decided to take a completely new name when we get married. We are both very excited about the prospect and look at it as a symbol of us starting a life together. I have tried to find information about name changes…
