[quote=Anonymous]I always liked the idea of changing my last name. I don't like my last name and am not close with my dad. I'm fairly traditional.

It just seems like such a huge PITA. I have multiple email addresses registered under my real name (it would seem odd to send out resumes with my married name and then direct to the maiden name email - but I don't want to make new email accounts). I have a million online accounts registered under my maiden name using those email addresses. All the credit cards on those sites are in my maiden name. I have various financial/retirement accounts, all registered under my maiden name. Updating them all would be a pain. But if I don't update all that stuff, then if I get Driver's License with married name, it wouldn't match all my accounts and credit cards, and eventually the old maiden name license would expire and couldn't be used as proof of identity. So do you then have to carry a birth certificate if you go to a bank where you have some old account in your maiden name?

And that's before thinking about travel and work-related things and my professional license. And medical records and insurance.

Obviously people do it so it's not insurmountable, but it seems like too much hassle to me.[/quote]
