Changing name - opinion?

Bird, on August 3, 2021 at 7:49 AM Posted in Married Life 0 3
Hi everyone, I’m going to send in my SS card name change but just wanted to get one last bit of advice before I officially change my name!


I originally wanted to add my maiden name to my middle name (First Middle Maiden Married) just so I could still have my maiden name somewhere in my name.
I looked through my documents and I have realized my current SS card, passport and license have my middle initial and not my middle name.
The only document that has my actual middle name is my birth certificate.
So now I’m leaning towards keeping it as a middle initial (letter is the same for my middle name as maiden name) and then changing last name.
I know my middle and maiden names will never change in my heart, but thought it’d be nice to have it on documents, but... for license and passport I THINK they only do middle initial anyway
Any thoughts?! What should I do!!!

    For whatever it’s worth, I just changed my name, and my new SS card and license both have my full middle name on them (I also changed my middle name to my maiden name).

    I think keeping your same middle initial but knowing it's for your maiden name now is perfect!! Smiley ring
