not married yet so i probably shouldn't use my married name...
i'm an admin assistant/receptionist for a child care company. the company itself is an average size but the admin office i work in has about 20 employees. i've been here for a few months and will leave in feb 2013 when my contract is up (i'm covering a mat leave).
i was asked to order some name plates for new employees or those that had a title/name change...and i was told to order myself one. i ordered one with my married last name because i'm going to be using it at work after i'm married; plus, this job may end up being permanent (there has been talk of it). i feel silly using my name plate that says christina f****** right now because i'm still christina y*******.
so i guess the reason for this post is to confirm : yes, it's not appropriate to have a name plate with my married name. my fiance said nobbody would even notice the last name anyways, so i should use it.
thoughts?
Re: not married yet so i probably shouldn't use my married name...
I wouldn't change it just yet only because it is so much fun to change everything when its official. There is none of that strange feeling that you have now. When you change it, even on your desk, you will want it to be all pride and glee that you are Mrs. F**********!
I'm getting married in exactly 4 months. I'll be changing my e-mail address and asking for my name to be changed in our phone system a few days before the wedding so I don't have to do it later.
it would be fun to stick that name plate up when I'm actually married, though:)
but if you're leaving in February, you'll be at that job longer unmarried then married....I guess this is a name plate you get to keep?

Because of how fun it is I would use it right after the wedding. If you have to have it up before then, it shouldn't matter. It's gonna be your new name soon!! Congrats on your upcoming wedding!!
