Thanks Roz for making me NWOTW...I can't tell you how happy you've made me
Sooooo today I'm wondering how many of you have actually gotten around the changing your last name legally? I've done so on my credit cards and at the bank, but I haven't really gotten the motivation to go down to the SS office or the DMV...although I've gotta do it soon because my registration is up as well.
For those of you who have done it, was it a really big PITA?? For some reason I just feel like its going to be super annoying.
For those of you who decided to keep your name, why was it important to you to do so?
Sorry no raunch today...its already the longest day ever and its not even 2pm!!! I gotta figure out something to do with SD tomorrow or we're both gonna go out of our gourds with boredom!

It was pretty painless. Took about an hr and then did the passport and cc stuff by mail

Re: ~*~*~NWQOTD 8/30~*~*~
I am not changing my name. Don't understand why I have to change my name because I got married, you know?
Maybe its the feminist in me but because I am a woman and married I must now be called by another name. It feels weird and wrong, I actually have a stomach pain when I think about it.
I don't mind if people call me Mrs. P or address invites to us this way but I want to remain who I was, have been and will continue to be....it just feels unnatural to me.
Plus I always get compliments on my name!

This is exactly what made me decide not to change my name! I always thought I wouldn't care since I hated my name to begin with, but then when it came down to it, it made me feel sick to think about it. Weird.

I changed my name at the DMS and SS the day after we got back from our HM (I never would have done it if i did not do it then) I changes some CC's, bank accounts and work info. My car and car insurance - we put out policies together and saved $600
I still have to change my passport and 1 CC

I haven't yet. Reason being is that I'll be traveling soon and the bookings were made in my maiden name, so I'm waiting until after that.
Not looking forward to it, that's for damn sure!
Same here....heading to our HM this weekend, so I thought I could hold off until I get back to make this name changing stuff official.
I am gonna miss my last name, but look forward to moving up the alphabetical chain from S to A. Woot Woot!!

I haven't done anything but SS and work yet, won't do DMV or passport yet because have travel planned every month through December! I guess I can do it beginning of 2011!
I'm also still on fence about changing my work e-mail address....I'm thinking about keeping it as my maiden name...
