Re: Changing my Name

Reply by Marrin713 · February 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Second Weddings

New last name is very common and easy so it's a welcome change from maiden name and xH's last name. I did everything as soon as the official certificate came back from the county. I spent countless hours at SS office. I got new SS card in the mail very quickly and then did the rest (DMV, bank, library card) all in the same…
Changing my Name

I slowly but surely have changed my name. I eased into it. First the SS. Then waited a few months, then the Drivers Lic., Bank Accounts. Then my employer, which was way easy. They took care of changing all the the paycheck, and all the tax stuff there. Our open enrollment was a month after we married so we signed up for…

I wouldn't have changed my name the first time but I was going to have a child and for his sake I wanted everyone's name to be the same. When I divorced he was very young (2) so I wanted to keep our names the same. When I married this time, I had my ex husbands name. (For the last 16 years!) SOOOO it was either go back to…

I was so excited to change my name the first time around. I was so young and impatient. I feel kind of guilty that I didn't change it back to my maiden name after the divorce but I discussed it with FI and he was ok with it. All the paperwork is a pain so I'm just waiting until we get married to take FI's last name and…

the first time around, I was only 20 when I got married, changed my name, had four kids and stayed married for 18 years. A couple years after the divorce, I changed back to my original name, and IT FELT SOOO GOOD, like getting my identity back! This time, unless he wants to hyphenate our names, which would sound good, I'll…

I didn't change mine. Either time. I am so happy I didn't! Truthfully, I don't understand why women do, although my own daughter did--but she had my name and her dad's name (my first husband's) names hyphenated. She moved my last name to her middle name, dropped her dad's name, and then uses her husband's name. It's all…

If I had not changed my name the first time, I would have been less compelled to change it this time. It mattered to DH, and I was either going to go back to my maiden name or take his, so either way I would have the hassle of changing it. I took his name, since it made him happy. ~Donna

I didn't get married until I was 45, so I didn't want to change my name. However, it was very important to my now-husband, so I agreed to do it. I moved my maiden name to my middle name, and use both names professionally. It was a hassle to change, but I'm slowly getting used to it, and now I even see a bit why it meant so…

I'm changing my name to FI's when we get married, although technically I guess it's a poor idea. His name is italian and it throws everyone off, because it has a "cch" in it, which is pronounced like a "k" instead of like "ch", so everyone says it wrong. lol But I LOVE his last name! So even though everyone for the rest of…

Changing everything is a pain, and I will be doing that this year. It's more changing my signature that I'm working on getting it to look artistic. I have a very artistic signature especially with my maiden name (took that back as soon as I could). So now it's making the FI's name work with my first name and middle initial.
