     Discussion by act421 · January 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Customs & Traditions Forum

     If I decide not to change my name when we get married, but later on down the road decide to take his last name, how hard will it be? Is there any difference at all? It was just something that came up with some friends and we can't seem to find any info on it. Thanks!

     People were actually really snitty with me when I first got married. I asked my boss if it was okay to change my email (I had a lot of direct client interaction), and he said it was fine and even set up my new email for me. Then, later, his partner (not my boss in any way), who is a woman, came up to me and yelled at me…

203. Name Change and Graduation?

     

     Discussion by marinabreeze · April 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Students

     I am graduating this summer with a PhD in political science. I don't have much out there in terms of a body of research (so I'm not to where I've really made a name for myself), and there is another person with my same first and last name who has her own body of research in my field, so I'm planning to change my last name…

     I'll be 56 when we marry next year. I've never been married, so I still have the original name on my birth certificate. My last name is one that was "made up" when my Dad's father's mother came over to this country. She brought all 6 of her children over, after losing her husband to the flu epidemic in Europe. The only…

205. Another name change thought...

     I've always gone by my middle name, which makes it annoying because on forms and things I'm always being called by my first name. I was thinking after I'm married I would just add FI last name to the end of my 3 names, but now I'm considering....getting rid of my first name..? Anybody else in the same boat? Would this be…

206. Changing name to a Russian last name - gender specific endings?

     

     Discussion by [Deleted User] · February 2014 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Customs & Traditions Forum

     I'm American and my fiancé is Russian, but we live (and he has spent 15+ years) in the US and is a citizen. His last name ends in a "v," and if we were in Russia, once we marry, I would then have the feminine version of his last name which would be "va." I'm excited to change my name, but I don't know what exactly I should…

207. Name Change on facebook & other online places?

     

     Discussion by becky659 · June 2012 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

     I know this is likely the most insignificant question ever asked here, but what is the etiquette for changing your name on facebook and other unofficial online places? Do you wait until you're name is legally changed, or is it normal to go ahead and change all your information online as soon as you want to/have access to a…

     I think this is a very personal choice and only you can decide what's most comfortable for you. Personally, I see marriage as a blending of two, and I would prefer to change my name to take on my husband's. I like the uniformity, solidarity, and team-ness of having the same last name, and I have no qualms with the…

     I'm taking FIs last name. I currently don't have a middle name so I will move my current last name to my middle name. My Mom did the same thing and that's why my parents didn't give me a middle name. My last name now is french and hard to spell and Fi's name is simple so I think it will be a nice change. Although it's…

     Discussion by gregata16 · September 2014 · Home› Wedding Month Club Boards› October 2014 Weddings

     My groom is a teacher, meaning there aren't days off for a honeymoon until Thanksgiving break. We've started looking at destinations, but haven't booked anything yet....somewhere tropical would be amazing! I am changing my name, therefore I will need a new passport! I'm worried that there isn't enough time to get a…
