Going from Himmelreich to Heffernan will be challenging enough… would love anything to simplify the process.
I’m very untraditional in many ways, but for some reason, I am drawn to the tradition of taking my husband’s name. I want to build a family with him, and I want our family (us and our kids) to share the same name. I find the whole process very symbolic, and while I’m quite attached to my maiden name, I’m strangely excited for the change. I’d love to win this so I can focus on that symbolism, and not the headache of the whole process!
I would LOVE to win this.. easy + wedding planning don’t always go hand in hand, so I’d love some assistance with one of the most important parts – changing my name!
I definitely want to take my fiance’s name when we get married, but I am totally worried that I’ll forget some little but very important aspect of it, like I’ll get to the airport for our honeymoon and realize I never renewed my passport or something. That’s actually given me nightmares! I think this kind of service is so awesome because they make sure you take care of all those loose ends :)
I can’t wait to take my fiance’s name! I’m already planning on bringing my favorite Vera Bradley bag to the store to get it monogrammed with my new initials as soon as it’s official!
I’d be too excited about getting married to be organized with this oh-so-important detail! Please help me out! I can use all the help I can get!
I do plan to take my future husbands name! I think that taking your husbands name is the finalization of the both of you becoming one. Its now the start of your own family. There is so much in a name, especially when it is shared and passed down generation through generation.
I’ve heard from several other brides how time consuming and stressful the name change process can be, so I think having this service would be awesome. I know it would be one thing I could check off my wedding list!
I’m going out of the country just a few months after the wedding and am already nervous about getting my name changed on everything in time. I would definitely love to win this and feel calm about the whole process.
I can’t wait to take my fiance’s last name. It’s actually one of the things I’m most looking forward too. I feel like I will be more connected to him. I love my last name though and plan on taking it as my middle name.
I can’t wait to marry the love of my life and as much as I am proud of my maiden name, I am so excited about taking on His name as my own, it will be so much more one. However, I have so many things to do for the wedding and I am all about eliminating stress not only for myself but others, and if this can help with that I would love it!
True love has finally found me.I am annxious to take on my fiance’s last name and I know if I refused he would be so hurt.
I would LOVE to win this! It would make my life so much easier!
My fiance is a 4th year med student-which means he’s graduating, we’re getting married 2 weeks later, going on honeymoon, then packing up all of our worldly belongings and MOVING (possibly cross country!–we don’t even know yet!) as soon as we get back from the honeymoon so he can start residency! And, did I mention that we both currently live in different states, more than 300 miles apart??? Yeah…
The name change express would be an amazing help to me! I’m already stressed out just thinking about all of the forms I’ll need to fill out! I would LOVE to win this! :) Please help!
I only have 30 days til the wedding and we have SO much to do, including packing and moving- this would be SO helpful in cutting time down for me!!
I’m so looking forward to no longer correcting people on how to say my current last name. There are so many reasons why this great service would be helpful, but the one that stands out for me is: no waiting in horrendous DMV lines!!
I can’t wait to have my fiance be part of my family, and I think sharing his name will be the start of our family together. Also, I’m pretty excited to become Mrs. Funk – who wouldn’t want to take that last name?!
I plan to change my name because I am traditional at heart. I want to share my life and my name with my husband. And it doesn’t hurt that my name is one of the most popular names in history – so now it’s very hard to find me in any directory amongst the thousand others with the name Jennifer Martin. AND my new last name is going to be Diamond – come on!! Best last name ever!!
Who wouldn’t love a free, easy way to change your name? As a teacher, a coach, and a regular girl who is KNOWN by her last name, this is going to be a big, exciting step for me and my future hubs. I’d love to have one part of this wedding process be easy, stress-free, and no hassle!
Changing your name is not as easy as changing your outfit for the day, or even choosing your wedding rings, which you wear every day, for the rest of your life. A name is your identity, it tells people who you are and where you come from. Taking your husbands name is arguably one of the biggest personal sacrifices a woman can make. One of the biggest things that I struggle with in changing my name, is leaving behind the name I’ve always known. I can see both sides of the ever evolving name changing discussion, and at the end of the day, I’ve decided that I want both, but will be called by my married name, an example I found in an unexpected place…my future mother in law. **
We’ve also decided that my fiancée will do the same thing, because we both feel
that our partnership is about the two of us becoming one, not just me becoming part of him. We will both use his last name as our primary name, but will legally share both equally.
It is for this reason that we need this help! Not only will I take advantage of the service
if I win, but we’ll buy him one too!
**Her legal name is Jane Elizabeth Doe Smith (maiden name Doe), but everyone calls her Jane Smith. (Obviously I changed her name)
Everything in my name expires in May 2010, the same month I am set to wed. With all the hassle of last minute things for the wedding, it would be helpful to have some assistance with changing my name on my license, passport, credit card, etc. I will also be moving, so I would just appreciate any kind of assistance, as I am sure I will be one confused person that month.
Name Change Express would be very helpful right now! I can’t even begin to think about what I need to do to change my name. I am too busy planning a wedding and working a more than full-time job. Please help!
My last name is a boy’s name and people flip-flop them! I can’t wait to change it. I don’t have any close friends who are married so this would be an easier way to go about it without having to do research and ask a bazillion questions.
Growing up, I though I’d keep my name. But (and I know this sounds lame) after hearing a Justin Timberlake lyric “I was ready, to give you my name,” it hit me that this was alos a leap for a guy too, sharing something that personal as your name. It’s truly a gift to become a ‘Celia’ :)
I live overseas and will only be in the United States for about a month after my wedding. I’m not sure how it will be possible for me to do all of the name change paperwork on my own in that time! And I don’t want to wait a year to change my name.
I can’t wait to change my last name to be part of my fiance’s family, both legally and emotionally. I feel like there are so many little details that I find out once it is too late, and something having to do with changing my name would be the worst of all. The only bad thing about my new last name will be my monogram: aCk
This would be super helpful! My fiancee and I are both changing our names (he’s adding my last name as a middle name, and I’m moving my last name to a middle name and tacking on his last name), and I think that this would aid us greatly! I was debating whether or not to change my name, but I did want the connectedness of sharing names. My fiancee’s father is very old-fashioned, and my fiancee was scared to upset his dad (Dad’s in poor health), so this was what we decided upon. Thanks for the giveaway!
Bottom line – I’m ridiculously busy! I’m getting married as soon as tax season is over (I’m a CPA — meaning I work ridiculous hours from January through April). After the wedding is over, I just want to RELAX. This will help so much!
Name Change Express will be helpful for me, and I don’t really have to explain why. The name says it all!
Name Change Express= It will change my name to my fiancé’s name in a Heartbeat <3
This will come in super handy, as I’ll be changing my last name as well as obtaining a new title soon (getting my medical degree right before my wedding)! I’m all about the easy 3-step system! :)
Growing up I never even considered that I’d change my name for marriage. I thought that doing so would make me lose my individuality and independence. The first time I brought it up with my soon to be husband he said that it was 100% my choice and that he would be just as happy to marry me with my kept last name since that’s who he fell in love with in the first place anyway. This made me realize that marriage isn’t about a name it’s about trusting another person wholly and wanting to share everything of yourself with them. I’m now planning to change my name to his. He showed me the respect to allow me to make this decision on my own. Taking his name is my way of saying thank you for accepting me for who I am.
I’m already a little forgetful, so I can’t imagine how I’ll remember every little place important place that I would need to change my name. Oh, I could defintely use a lot of help in that department!
I would love an opportunity to streamline the process of getting rid of my last name so much!! The name I bear comes from my biological male DNA, when my mother married my step-father I begged for his last name but he wouldn’t do that to my grandfather. My grandfather was an amazing man, after he passed I was “too old” to go through the adoption process. Now I met & am marrying the most amazing man in the world & finally get rid of this name!!!! Anything to make it faster & easier would just make this year more blissful!
I grew up thinking that I wouldn’t change my name. However, now that the decision is upon me, I couldn’t imagine not changing my name. It isn’t about losing my identity or becoming his, it is about the new unit that we have created.
I use my fiance’s grocery card, and I love it when they say “Thanks you Mrs. ____” :)
In two months I will take on my soon to be husbands name and I cannot wait! although I will be sad to change my maiden name, I am so excited to take on my new role as a wife and have my mans name! <3
I would love to win this since we have agreed that I will honor my fiance’s wishes and tradition and accept his name. He said it would be best gift I can give him after our wedding to become the Mrs. It’s the name that our future kids will have and that is very important to me.
Name change express is an incredible idea. I had no idea a service like that was available. I am a nurse and work nights so getting things done during the day is near to impossible since that is my sleeping time. This would make my life so much easier and I’d only have to explain my new last name once…O’Connell…two N’s two L’s! :)
I love my family and the one I am marrying into so it is important to me to keep my maiden name and simply add my husband’s to the end. However, the thought of changing my name, while exciting, is also incredibly daunting. With school, 2 jobs and way too many accounts, I can’t imagine remembering everything that has my name on it. This would be a great way to relieve some stress after the emotional rollercoaster of planning a wedding. What a great idea!
While I’m not a really traditional kind of person, I simlpy can’t wait to take my fiance’s name! For me, I know that together we can do anything and by taking his name I’m commiting my whole heart. I am moving beyond the life that I’ve known for so long and the name I’m used to in order to start our life together.
I’m getting married–’nuff said! I’m changing my last name, dropping my middle, and I don’t know where to start! Glad I have until October!
I’d love to have this name change service! I have the most common Vietnamese last name (take a guess) and it has been a hassle all my life. Even more troublesome, someone with the same name as me happens to have bad credit, and the credit agencies mix us up all the time! It’s time consuming and difficult to have to keep cleaning up your credit report, especially when you’re trying to buy a house.
I’ve actually just decided that I am going to change my name. Sharing the same name is yet another way to be closer to your partner. The sacrifice of giving up my birth name feels like a special gift to my husband-to -be. I just wouldn’t feel like I’m experiencing the full extent of marriage, otherwise.
I am very traditional, so I didn’t think twice about taking my fiance’s name in a few months. I can’t wait to have my new name!
Because in my mind our marriage isn’t official until we are Mr & Mrs. Zador and having this service will make the process of taking a last name the begins with the last letter of the alphabet that much easier. :)
ME! Me! Ok, let’s be honest here. My name is Julia Roberts. JULIA ROBERTS. Yes, it has been fun at times and very useful when making reservations or calling a taxi, but it can be frustrating too. I’m notoriously bad at names and the love-hate relationship with having a famous name is that everybody and their dog remembers yours. “Hi, Julia Roberts!” “Oh, umm….Hi! How are you? *insert mental blank on name here*”
While I have loved having my name, it is important to me to take my fiance’s name to show my commitment to him. Not being so conspicuous is just a bonus. Being a natural blonde too, between work, school, the honeymoon, and all the other chaos, I just know I’d forget something too. =) I’d love to expedite and simplify the process!
