I just recently got married in Sept. When I mention to my husband before we were married that I wanted to keep my maiden name because the name was going to end because everyone in the family were girls he freaked out on me. He pretty much said why get married if I was not going to take his name. He believed that when you get married you become one unit and that men are heads of the family and the women should take the family name. SO, I took my husband's name and found out I able to keep my maiden name also. On my SS card it reads my first name, middle, maiden, and married name, but everything else just reads my first and married. |
