Name Changing Question

Discussion by meredithl618 · March 2010 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› North Carolina

Married ladies, when you changed your name, how long did it take for everything to be finalized? I'm going to a conference for work in California 3 weeks after I get back from my honeymoon. I need to book the flights now, but I don't know what name to use on the flight. I assume I can get all of my paperwork and…
Strange name change situation - how to inform?

Discussion by orangejulius · November 2010 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

My finace has recently decided that he wants to change his last name to that of his birth father's. His parents were teens when he was born, and his birth father died shortly after that. His mother gave him her last name. Years later, when FI was in highschool, his mother married and her husband adopted FI. Well, they are…
Changing your last name?

Discussion by [Deleted User] · June 2012 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Gay Weddings

Are any of you planning on changing your last names? If so, are you choosing one partner's name or hyphenating or did you choose a new one? I have a really long difficult last name but I've kind of grown into it. I do like her last name too so I'm undecided. What did you do?

Change of Name/Address

Discussion by VAtoCO · August 2009 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› Colorado-Denver

When we get married, I'll be taking my FI's name and also moving into his place. I plan to send out change of address cards after I get back from the honeymoon. I'll be sending them to some people who I usually just correspond with once or twice a year (ie, Christmas cards). Is it stupid to point out the new name and new…
Name Change-- is this weird?

Discussion by CurlyQ284 · September 2009 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

I'm getting married Saturday and I still don't know what to do about my name. I want to take FIs name, but I don't want to lose mine or hyphenate it. My middle name is my paternal grandmother's maiden name (she died when my dad was a kid) Would it be weird to have: first name, middle name, maiden name, FI's name? So I'd…
Name change before graduation?

Discussion by Carla1019 · September 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

Can anyone give me your experiences with changing your name after you enrolled in your graduate program? I would like my new name to appear on the certificate. Also, have you had any problems when a new job pulls your transcripts and your maiden name is on the undergraduate degree and the married name is on the graduate…
Name change

Discussion by elyse206 · October 2009 · Home› Local Wedding Boards› Ohio-Toledo

I got married 10 days ago and we just got back from our honeymoon. I'm a little lost on the name change thing. How do I go about changing my name? Do I wait for the official marriage license to come in the mail? What is the first step?
Question for those of you who did not change your last name

Discussion by Travelnut · July 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

I am debating how we should be introduced as husband and wife both after the ceremony and entering the reception. Do you think we should use only our first names or include last names as well to make it clear that I am not changing my name. Most of my close friends and relatives know that I am not changing my name, and I…
