   He thinks I'm putting it off. I mean, I have been slightly, but I've also been extraordinarily busy. He has time this afternoon to go with me and wants it to just be done. We've been putting off chaning car insurance, getting a bank account together, etc until I get the official name change. I know I do need to do it. I'm…

   It took me like 3 months to change my name. Not for any reason other than not being able to take off work to go to the soc sec office. As I said before, I went with the more traditional route and dropped my maiden name all together. I'm more attached to my middle name than maiden because it's my mom's middle name too and…

   I thought the decision making ended with the wedding.Yea, I wish! I had no problem deciding on my name change, it was just going through the pics that was a PITA! I personally like the way your name is on FB. You said your middle name is not super important to you, right?

   You can still get car insurance and a joint bank account with your name as is if you are hesitant. It isn't too difficult to change your name on those if you decide to do it.

   That's what I've been saying. And actually, I'm going to make him make a decision on car insurance right now and just get it. His expires next week. Whether I change my name today or not, I'll just change it on the insurance...

   Don't put off getting joint car insurance any longer!! You'll save so much money, at least we did!It took me a while to change my name too, not because I didn't know what I was going to change it to, but because I was busy and didn't want to be bothered! So tell him to chill! :)

   If it helps, I also like how it sounds on FB :)I had no problems deciding on my name change, but my DH still rushed me to get it all finished for the same reasons. We needed to change bank accounts, insurance, etc., so I had to do it quickly. If you aren't ready though, you don't have to.

   DH (almost said FI!) is insisting that I change my name today! I still can't make up my mind. I thought the decision making ended with the wedding.
