Recently hyphenated my maiden name with hubby's because we are expecting our first baby. Got as far as SS, bank account, and driver's license, but now starting to regret it as it's become a royal PIA. Both names are easy to pronounce and of English origin, but I have to spell both and mention that the name is hyphenated which for some odd reason seems to trip people and computers up.AAAHHHH!! I wish that I had researched this a little more. Considering just changing my name to hubby's before taxes or baby comes, but wondering if this will just create more of a mess. BTW, it's only been about 3 months since I started this process and not sure if SS will let me change name again so quickly. Anyone else been through a similar situation?How frequently can you change your last name?I really haven't heard of this, but I know you can give the baby any of the last names, yours, his, the hyphenated one. It won't be as bad as you think, so many women keep their names that schools, etc. think nothing of your name being different that the kid's.
My sister divorced, took her own name back, then married again and kept her name. So she, her husband, and her son from first marriage all have different names.
I am glad the hyphen trend is dying out. I am with you, it's just too nuts-and the next generation then might be joining two hyphenated names! But keep your own name if you like. I do understand it means a lot to many women, and I don't think men should get so upset. My husband was so mad when I kept mine,, but when I asked him how he would like to give up his name, he said %26quot;That would be HORRIBLE%26quot;. Exactly.
Good luck. Unless SSA is worried about fraud I can't imagine it would be too big of a deal.How frequently can you change your last name?Maybe she got married IDKHow frequently can you change your last name?Well sorta kinda I can relate. Especially when I call the hamburger joint to place my order. They'll ask my name and I'll tell them yeah this Anita, that's right my name is Juanita, yeah make that order for Vanita. It drives them nuts.do it in the right way as menny time's as you wont AKA
