What would you change your name to?

Me and the hubby would love to have a less common last name.
When we were getting married we were going to change his last name to mine. But decided not to because of all the paperwork and money that it would take versus me just changing mine.

Is it really be that difficult in the USA?

In the UK, taking either partner’s name on marriage, or hyphenating the two together or not changing at all is fine. You use your marriage certificate as evidence of the name change. Once it’s on your passport and/or driver’s license it generally stops being an issue. Although you may have to produce your marriage certificate/deed poll(see below) to evidence employment checks on occasion.

It’s a faff getting your bank account, etc changed, but that happens whoever changes their name.

If you want to change your name without marriage being involved then a legal document called a deed poll has to be drawn up. You then use this document as legal evidence that your name has changed from that on your birth certificate.

No, the Adamsofa Chameleon is a good creature.
Good morning, Carol.

Good Afternoon Adam. Today was laundry day. So only catching up now. Popped in early this morning as I did not sleep well and therefore was up early.

You would think that in this day and age that the option would be available for changing to either / or, or both and cost exactly the same.

Thats more like how it should be. I just took hubbies surname, so I don't know if it would be an issue or not.

The name Adamsofa Chameleon is much too long. I call him AC.

 

[Bee62]

Aaaaaaashhhhh. That is so nice. I should have read this maybe I would have slept better.

I hope you haven`t slept bad !

 

[CarolM]

I said the same thing. So AC it is.

 

[Bee62]

Of course. It was scrumptious and so I ate wayyyyy too much.

I am happy that it was like your taste.
