1. S/O Last Names

   

   Discussion by pirategal03 · June 2010 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

   How much of a PITA is it to have 4 names? I'm considering tacking FI's last name onto my current name, but I'm concerned that I'll be annoyed with 4 names when filling out forms and whatnot and I don't want to hyphenate.

   I was thinking more about filling out the First Middle Last blanks on other forms, rather than just signing. I'm sure I'm overthinking this, but it's been on my mind and thought I'd throw it out there.

   Ask LVB. She had 2 middle names before, so she's always had 4 names.

   I have 4 names now, and all together, my name is 28 letters long. It really isn't that big of a deal. I always put both of me middle names on forms, because I like my second middle name better, so I hate leaving it off.

   What about on things like social security cards, passports, that kind of thing? I know my passport says First Middle under "Given Name" (I just checked). Will they accept 3 names there? Or do you just book your plane tickets without middle names? I definitely want my Married name to be my only last name, then middle/maiden…

   My brother has 4 names, and it doesn't bother him. I'm going to hyphenate, even though it'll be more of a PITA because I'm a notary and I have to constantly sign my full name to stuff. The way I see it, I've had my name my whole life and I don't see why I should have to give up my name just because I get married. I have no…

   I haven't had any problems with it. If they ask for a middle name, I just use my maiden name. For example, I couldn't have 4 names on my driver's license, so it says First Maiden Married. My mom always had two middle names (complicated by the fact that she goes by one of these middle names) and she's always just left one…

   I thought about it. But, each of our last names has 7 digits. No thank you. Plus my middle name has 6 letters. Way too many. So, I just took H's. If my last name was Lee and his was Smith or something then I probably would have.

    Well, I don't know about other people, but I never sign my middle name onto forms, so to me it's really only 3names I would have to sign onto documents. And, really, how often do you have to sign documents? AND, if you do sign documents often, is the extra time (we're talking seconds here, minutes if there is a scantron…
