WWND?

DH and I have been married 8 years.  I changed my name after we got home from our honeymoon.  I just dropped my maiden name and took DH's name.  First and middle name stayed the same.

ILs keep using my maiden name.  Sometimes with the married name, sometimes by itself.  I think they are confused b/c my middle initial is the same letter as my maiden name.  I've tried to subtly mention this, but they haven't picked it up.  As more time goes on, this makes me madder and madder. 

How do I tell them to stop it?  Do I make DH do it?  Or do I do it?  This morning it occured in an email--- can I just reply to that email? I don't want them to feel bad, but I want them to get my name correct.

ETA: They do this b/c SIL's name is also Sara, but she still uses her maiden name, as I do not.

ETA #2: DH did talk to them, even before I asked him too.  Hopefully they will get it right next time!

  • I'd have your DH talk to them about it.   Have him ask them why they keep using that name and that you prefer to go by your married name.

  • So wait... they actually use more than your first name when they call you?  Is that what's happening?  If so, that's just weird.  And it's not like they should have trouble remembering your last name, since it's the same as their son's last name (and probably theirs).
