481. Ugg, changing your name.

     

     Discussion by Sarah MD · June 2012 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› Rhode Island

     While I feel much more attached to my former last name than my middle name, I thought it'd be nostalgic to just keep all of them. Huge pain in the butt! So my former name was Sarah Elizabeth Marsh and my husband's last name is Desrocher. So now when I log into the SS website, it just shows as Sarah E Desrocher. And the…

     I would just wait and do it as soon as possible after the wedding. I am also a teacher, and we got married in August of last year. I got our marriage license and took care of changing my name with the social security office and DMV right after we returned from the honeymoon. Before the school year started, I asked our…

     Discussion by dfledderjohn · August 2017 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› New York-New York City

     Hi all! I'm getting legally married tomorrow, with our ceremony to follow in September. I'd like to get the name change process moving, but am not totally sure about the best order. I'm in process of transfering an out of state license, so will need to go back for a name change after the wedding. However, I've heard mixed…

     If you are going on an immediate, or relatively immediate, honeymoon you should wait. You'll book everything in your maiden name (airline tix, etc.) and if you change your name before flying you won't match your tickets. If you aren't taking a honeymoon for a few months (and don't plan to book anything before you change…

     Changing your last name should not change how you "identify" yourself. If you don't want the name to get lost for good, drop your middle name entirely and change your middle name to your maiden name.Changing your first name just sounds stupid to me. If your parents wanted to name you the italian version, they would have…

488. Name chang in Michigan

     

     Discussion by wkamps · February 2011 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› Michigan-Detroit

     How do I change my name once I get married? Also, I want to use my maiden name as a second middle name but I have heard that Michigan does not recognize 2 middle names. Is that true? Having 2 middle names is fairly common so I don't understand.

     I have a question about changing my name.... I really want to keep my maiden name and my middle name but am not sure how much of a pain that would be to have 4 names. Do all 4 have to go on your license or just the first middle name? I would think that all 4 would have to go on my Social Security card so then in turn all 4…

     I ended up changing my name because I didn't want my children to have a different last name as me. With my job, I actually hyphenate my last name for things, because not all the parents remember that I got married and changed my name so it is easier. Legally, my last name is changed, but I still use my maiden name for…
