Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

4 years on june 11th and I didnt either.. I also hve my old address on my license as well..

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

I changed mine right when we got back from our honeymoon because i knew if i didn't do it then I would never do it. Trust me i know how you feel. I have come to accept it now and i don't mind it so much anymore.

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

It took me 14 months to go to Social Security and change my name. I only changed my name at work when I was due to have my baby...19 months after our wedding.
I dont dislike his name at all, I just really liked my maiden name.

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

Jump to it christine!! I am fully changed over now.. I am so glad that the process is done! It is a pain in the booooty.

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

I changed mine and wish I hadnt- professionally I had used my maiden name for almost 7 years and its caused a lot of confusion with my clients- i probably should have kept my name at least at work

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

I still have to change my name on my passport, my mortgage, and my AA frequent flyer miles. What a PITA.

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

I still haven't changed my passport, it's such a PITA!

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

Nothing stopping DH from changing his name to yours.
It's not a rule that a man can't take his wife's name.
Now wouldn't that go over well ?
Manpride.

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

I changed my name at SS and DMV and the bank, but that is about it. I still have credit cards and my passport and others in my maiden name. Although I just added his last name, I didn't drop mine, and professionally I didn't change it at all.

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

My office was closed the day after Thanksgiving so I did it then. The only thing I haven't changed is my passport and I won't until it expires.

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

i still haven't - twice i tried to go to SS just never made it....im gonna try next tues to do it.....i know DH wants it done already

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

Christine - you must have spurred the NW contest idea !
Go for it !

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

enter the contest then!!!

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

I am at 6 months and FB has my married name but I still have to change everything else..DMV needs weekend hours!

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

I am at six months and haven't done a thing - I will probably be dragging my feet on this for awhile.

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

I changed my SS card that is all...it sucks I need to find time to go to the DMV..but then that means I need to change my registration, insurance and title of car to my married name and it is so much work haha

also...i am waiting until DH and I change banks to change my credit cards...because right now it's not worth the hassle haha

but I also need to change it at school but I don't know how to go about it. I am going ot be student teaching in the fall and already submitted paper work for that under my maiden name but i want to start using my married name once this semester is over and to graduate with my married name and have the dept of ed have my married name...so gotta figure that one out.

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

I've changed my driver's license, some crdit caards and some bank accounts. I can't change my SS becasue I have to bring in my birth certificate becasue they randomly changed my DOB in 1986 So that and the passport will just have to wait until after my honeymoon in July.

Re: Almost 1 year later and I still havent changed my name

I still have to change mine, I told DH that I would do it before our second anniversary.
