   I also was worried about this, I ended up hyphenating my name. I went to Social Security and was told that DMV may not make the change and if I change it with SS I would have to go to court to change it back.

   After the wedding I want to change my middle name to my maiden name (dropping my old middle name) and change my last to my husbands. Has anyone had any experience with trying to do this as opposed to just changing their last name? Thanks!

   I went to SS, they didn't care what I chose, but warned me that DMV wouldn't do it. My SS card read: first, maiden, married My license read: First, original middle initial, misspelled married name This proved to be my saving grace...

   kloire, I plan to do the same thing! My middle name is my mom's name and since she did the same thing to hers, she gave me her blessing to ditch my middle name. I hope it isn't too hard! Does anyone have two middle names? Is it a pain on forms and such? Does it get mixed up? Do you just pick one to be your "middle initial"?
