(His mom and his real dad were married when FI was born but FI's real dad left shortly after) it was VERY important to my FI that he changes his last name to…

   I did First Middle HisLast. I LOVE my married last name, and HATED my maiden name, so it all worked really well for me. :) Tips: Once you have a copy of your marriage certificate, change your name on Social Security first, then your driver's license. The rest (doctors, credit cards, bills, etc.) takes a while, but once you…

   Did you or will you change your name? If you are married and changed your name, do you have any tips to share about the whole name change process? A lot of ladies here will be doing that this month so I thought tips might be helpful. Not Yet Married Ladies - Have you practiced writing your new name?Married Ladies - Are you…

   I've mentioned this before, though maybe not on this board - don't do what I did! I couldn't decide what to do and was super wishy washy about it and it made it really, really hard. I didn't want to change my name and H was all for that. At one point we even discussed him changing his name to mine. Then, the closer we got…

   Yes, I changed my name... made my maiden name my middle name and took HD's last name. I haven't gotten used to it yet. Socially, I go by his name, but I haven't gotten around to legally changing everything. It's amazing how many things your name is tied with. I just set up a new email account, but I'm constantly toggling…

   I'm taking FI last name! My name in general is crazy common and multiple times my records have been mixed up with someone elses because of having the same name. On all my legal documents I ended up including my middle initial to make things easier. I haven't really practiced my new name, but FI's last name starts with the…

   I took his name. I think LittleBigO had some good tips. You have to change your name on everything! I had my mortgage company, water/sewer company, phone company, utility company, credit card companies, insurance companies, bank accounts, doctor's office, dentist's office, and all my travel stuff (frequent flier, frequent…

   I'm changing my name to FI's last night, so I will be MyFirst MyMiddle HisLast. however, we have an agreement that we are going to use my maiden name as one of our children's names. I've actually had to sign with my new name for wedding checks that have been addressed to FI & CocoBellaF HisLastName... It's very different…

   I am taking his last name and dropping my middle name. I am not looking forward to all the paperwork that goes with the name changing process

    I will be changing my last name to his, and I'm thinking of dropping my maiden name all together. I.e. becoming MyFirst MyMiddle HisLast. I have practiced writing it, but I have a really sloppy signature, so it just looks like a different squiggly line than the one I use for my maiden name, lol.
