I changed mine right when we got back from our honeymoon because i knew if i didn't do it then I would never do it. Trust me i know how you feel. I have come to accept it now and i don't mind it so much anymore.

It took me 14 months to go to Social Security and change my name. I only changed my name at work when I was due to have my baby...19 months after our wedding.
I dont dislike his name at all, I just really liked my maiden name.

Same here, I also wanted to save DH money too. We were considered domestic partners with me on his insurance and he was paying a lot out of pocket. So the quicker I could change it the better.

I changed mine and wish I hadnt- professionally I had used my maiden name for almost 7 years and its caused a lot of confusion with my clients- i probably should have kept my name at least at work

I still have to change my name on my passport, my mortgage, and my AA frequent flyer miles. What a PITA.

Nothing stopping DH from changing his name to yours.
It's not a rule that a man can't take his wife's name.
Now wouldn't that go over well ? Chat Icon

I changed my name at SS and DMV and the bank, but that is about it. I still have credit cards and my passport and others in my maiden name. Although I just added his last name, I didn't drop mine, and professionally I didn't change it at all.

My office was closed the day after Thanksgiving so I did it then. The only thing I haven't changed is my passport and I won't until it expires.
