Did you change your name at work

My company doesnt change our email address if your name has changed - therefore my maiden name will still be my email address.

Should I start signing things as my new name? Does everyone go by their maiden name still??

I'm a teacher and was married during the middle of the school year- I went by my married name, but I used both names when signing things.

I also didn't change my email address until the end of June.

This year, I am completely changed over to my married name.

Re: Did you change your name at work

I was married last November and I just changed my name at work (Im a teacher, so I figured it was be less confusing for the kids, parents and my co-workers) so I just started off this new year with my new name.
My work email did not change, but I don't really use that one anyway

Re: Did you change your name at work

Not yet. I'm still in training so I have to wait until that's over. It's weird too because I need to use my car for work so I needed a copy of my driver's license and registration and my registration is in my new name. I have to explain that I'm in the process of changing my name but I have both my licenses so hopefully they can figure it out. It's definitely going to be a pain!

I wasn't going to but my company is actually very strict and once you SS card is changed you must change your name. So everything has been changed

they actually changed my email address at work to show my married name, and linked w/ the former email address so i can still receive emails under both names. but other than my nameplate, everything has been changed to my married name.

That is what my job will do as well. I hyphenated on my office signs and will do that for a while.

Re: Did you change your name at work

I told my DH I would change it when my license expires (3/09) we were married 10/07

My name has not been changed at work. . .and quite frankly, I don't really want to change it - as my new married name is Jenny McCarthy! ugh
