All the time!!! Or when the guy at the bank or something asks me, 'Will that be all Mrs. O'Connor?'

ETA: Though my signature looks like crap. I need to work on that.

I'm legally hypenating Nov. 1st. We did get joint bank accounts w/it already though and it's weird.

What is SUPER funny is my last name is, er... was Scott and they accidentally call DH Scott instead of Steve all the time lol.

Re: for those that officially changed their name

I got my new SS card and license in the mail the other day...I just feel weird about it. Its so official, there's no more Ilana Frome...I actually have been having a little bit of trouble with it. I feel like I've given up a part of my identity

Re: for those that officially changed their name

I don't think I'll ever get used to my new last name. I sorta hate it. Growing up, I hated my old last name, but now I def miss it.
