So I dont know my name yet.... :)

Anyone else having issues? I automatically sign the wrong name and DH keeps calling me out on it! This weekend I took my dog to the vet and they called for Mrs. Hilburn and I never moved! They had to call twice before I realized it was me!

Re: So I dont know my name yet.... :)

  • I changed my name on facebook.  Then I was going through my news feed and saw:

     

    RB NewLastName likes....

     

    and my initial thought was "I'm not friends with RB NewLastName - why are they on my page???.....ooooooooooooooooohhhh"

     

    I called a client at work last week, and when they picked up the phone "Hi this is RB...uhhhhhhh....uhhhh......MaidenName" (thinking they recognize us by our names, but it had been 2 weeks since I actually used my maiden name).

     

    I just right now that they both look funny to me :-p

  • I have Kaitlin (maiden name) on the debit card for my bank account because it's a credit union and the closest branch is at my parents house. Then I have Kaitlin (married name) on my debit card for our joint account. So I keep having to double check which I'm using when I sign

  • Oh! and what's even worse, DH's cousin on FB is Katie (married name) and I'm Kaitie (married name) so it's very confusing for everyone who has both of us as friend

  • DH kept seeing my name on facebook and thinking, which of my cousins is this?  

    I had to re-record my work voicemail twice because the first two times I did it, I said Alex (maiden name).  On phone calls for work, I have pretty much been saying, "hi this is Alex from (my workplace) instead of using a last name at all.  They have been figuring out when I have emailed.   

    Married!!

  • Both of the last names start with a B so I get really confused when I'm signing my name I need to think about which name I'm supposed to be using. DH and I haven't joined bank accounts yet so I keep signing my maiden name until then.
  • Oh I understand! I still have a credit card under my maiden name that I use randomly and have to think about what I'm doing!

     Plus I'm in the process of looking for a job and had to call someone and asked who was calling and I was like ahhh cuz my name doesn't roll off my tongue yet!

  • Haha, I totally know what you mean!  For my school, I have to sign off on attendence during homeroom each day, and yesterday I signed my maiden name.  One of my students was like, "Uh... Mrs. H, this isn't your last name anymore."  Haha!

    Oh my gosh I know exactly what you mean!!! I'm a teacher and most of my kids from last year still call me by my maiden name! One student told me" I like Ms. M------ can I still call you that???" LoL but, that is not my name anymore! lol

  • My driver's license is in IL, but I'm living for just a few months in IN, so I don't want to change my dl to an IN one and retake the test, then change to another state in 3 months so I'm waiting on that one. I have no clue what my name is right now ;)

  • I'm currently using my maiden name at work, but I have updated my email signature to include my new name which will be Maiden name-Married Name :)  I haven't gotten my name plate changed yet either.  I guess on my next off day I'll take care of my driver's license.  :) its hard to transition over.
