Name Change Vent

I completely understand those of you who didn't change your name.  Last semester of school/finding a job is not a great time to change your name :( It's not causing any major issues, it just makes everything slightly more complicated and I'm tired of transitioning between names. Did anyone else have an annoying name change transition?

Re: Name Change Vent

  • Yes.  I have flight credits in my Maiden name and need to keep my passport in that name.  I have changed it on my DL and with Social Security.  Almost everything at work is in my maiden name including my email address... it is just annoying and complicated like you said.  I have to remember what name to give people otherwise they get confused.

  • It was awful for me.  I am a teacher and the school year started 2 days after the wedding.  So I was having the students call me by my new married name (so they wouldn't have to call me a new name a few weeks later) but the Superintendents office was calling me by my maiden name (and all press releases about my hiring were my maiden name, parents were so confused!).  The building I work in was switching back and forth between the two names.  It went on for almost 6 weeks because I couldn't take a day off of school to go change my name so I had to wait until we had a day off.  The superintendents office did a cheer when I finally came in with all of my correct ID's to change all the paperwork to one name!
  • Yup.  Still waiting for one credit card to come in correct name, and my stupid driver's license.  Also just mailed out new passport change today...bleh.
  • Mine was annoying because I started a new job the month after the wedding.  While I was going by my new name at work my SSN hadnt been updated so they had to put all my email in my old name.  People couldnt email me because they couldnt figure out my name.  Now its all good though and people forget I ever had another name.  It was nice to start fresh.
