My HSA charges an arm and a leg for checks so I still have that name on my checks, and I kept my maiden name at the dry cleaner bc my married name is super common. And bc it's so common I can't figure out an email address that will work with my maiden name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-443911 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 20:53:57 +0000 Mrs. Oyster 443911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never changed my last name - so most things still come with my maiden name on them. However, when DH's family send us cards they usually send them to "The ____'s."<br /> Ah well, I'll pick my battles :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-443295 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 15:06:11 +0000 mlm2934 443295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use my maiden initials at work still when I sign off on things </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-443252 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 14:48:33 +0000 alayaya 443252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have my married name on most things by now, except utility bills and my care card... Oh and my passport, but I haven't gone anywhere since the honeymoon.</p> <p>I checked my hubs phone yesterday and he still had me under my maiden name. I made a big fuss about how I went to all the trouble of changing my name and he can't even change it in his phone!? Then I made him change it. LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442975 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 12:27:53 +0000 BeachMama 442975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Funny my mom also wrote me a check for my bday and put my maiden name. Old habits I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442930 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 12:08:36 +0000 lavender 442930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our mortgage/deed still has my maiden name and my professional license. I'm too lazy to change it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442925 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 12:06:18 +0000 Freckles 442925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still use my maiden name, and haven't changed it. I'm attached to it, i suppose. It's a good thing DH isn't super traditional. But my sister likes to hint that i should change it by addressing things to me with DH's last name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442884 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 11:39:21 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 442884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in transition right now. Anything legal still has my maiden name, but everything personal I write my married name. I'm waiting on my marriage certificate to come in though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442880 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 11:36:39 +0000 T-Mom 442880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use my maiden name professionally, and my married name socially (and for legal documents). It gets a little confusing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442859 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 11:29:00 +0000 Alivoo01 442859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have a middle name growing up so I moved my maiden name over to my middle name and sign everything First Name, Middle Name, Last Name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442834 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 11:17:32 +0000 SleepyMonkey 442834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i still use my maiden name at work, so yes, a lot! i use my maiden name much more than my married name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442821 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 11:11:06 +0000 chopsuey 442821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before I had lo I still called myself by my maiden name. After baby things changed for me and I stopped using it. Weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442782 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 10:56:13 +0000 Foodnerd81 442782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I changed my name on everything official, but I never got new checks. So my checks still say my maiden name, and I have to remember to sign it that way, but our joint account is in our new name with new checks. Sometimes I mess up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442751 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 10:39:41 +0000 matador84 442751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tons of stuff, since I dropped my middle name and moved my maiden name to my middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442740 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 10:35:46 +0000 Modern Daisy 442740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My checking account and my work credit card still have my maiden name because they require that I fax them a copy of my marriage license and I've been too lazy to do it. I think this is a ridiculous requirement though since if I were a new customer my drivers license would be good enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442737 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 10:33:32 +0000 ladyfingers 442737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only changed my last name on the stuff that "matters" like financial stuff -- bank, loans, credit cards (and obv driver's license and ssn). But I never got around to changing it on utility bills and stuff so I still get a fair amount of things addressed to my maiden name. As well as my email, which really confuses people apparently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442729 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 10:29:14 +0000 plaidpants 442729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still get some junk mail (and one credit card - oops) in my maiden name. It's been a couple years since I changed it, so I get sort of nostalgic now when I see it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442634 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 09:39:25 +0000 yoursilverlining 442634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never changed my name so I write out my maiden name every single day! Lots of older relatives address cards/checks/etc. to “Mr. and Mrs. my husband’s full name” which does burn me a little; but whateves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442632 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 09:38:47 +0000 Smurfette 442632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my main email still has my maiden name. Two years later and I am still too lazy to change it. I really need too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442624 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 09:32:50 +0000 Sammyfab 442624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't changed my name so yes, it's written everywhere! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442598 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 09:14:38 +0000 prettylizy 442598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My uncle gave me a cheque once with my maiden name on it. My married name is much easier to say and write so people have embraced it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442587 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 09:05:34 +0000 loveisstrange 442587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, because it's still my last name. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442584 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 09:00:08 +0000 anonysquire 442584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't change my last name but everyone writes my husbands name on everything. Even our insurance guy changed my last name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-still-write-your-maiden-name-on-things#post-442572 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 08:45:58 +0000 Bookish 442572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol my parents both wrote checks to my maiden name about a year ago...
