Maiden name annoyances
So we've all been married for a year and 3 months, right? Is anyone else not able to get your friends/family to remember to use your married name??
I've had clients and coworkers use my maiden name recently (like putting me on an attendance list under it) and the worst offender was my sister-in-law (bro's wife) who wrote me a check to my maiden name!
Please tell me I'm not the only one that runs into this!
Re: Maiden name annoyances
Most people at my work have caught on because now a lot of them call me "KK". One girl still calls me just by my last name, when other people correct her, she just says she's refusing to recognize my new last name...
My grandma wrote me out a check for Christmas, and told me she spelled my last name wrong (with a C not K). She felt so bad and even started to cry! Poor thing!

I have a few friends that I've always called by their last name. Even though they're married now, that will always be their name to me!
I haven't had too much of an issue with it. My current job I wasn't at before we got married, so they only know me by my married name. Once or twice my brother has accidentally called me by my maiden name. DH has done it, too. But for the most part, everyone gets it right.
Not many issues here. I work with a friend who I've known all of my life and she told me the other day that she sometimes almost refers to me by my maiden name when she's talking to one of my customers.
Our new receptionist was entering old training records and was confused because they're so old that it lists my maiden name. She called me to confirm it was me. LoL.
My shower invites just went out, though, and I fear some people won't recognize my married name on the invite!
TTC since June 2012
My close friends have always called me by my last name, and a lot of them still do, but I don't really care, it's more of a nickname thing than a "I refuse to recognize the other name". I have a few friends that are the same way. Other than that my dad still struggles when he writes out my name. He still writes my maiden name on everything. Other than him, I haven't really had any issues.
I tend to sign my name with my maiden name sometimes, it might be because it's easier for me to sign with an S then a W and then I just scribble the rest.
I believe I got a jury duty letter sent to my brothers house (I haven't used his address in years) with my maiden name. Do I have to go?
This exactly!
Except I have no MIL that will refuse to accept my decision. My dad sometimes can be the bad one though! haa
