What's in a Name?

Seriously, what's in a name? I make bank transfers  (even thru mobile device), use my credit card, file my taxes, look at my credit report and more online but I can't change my name!

Let me clarify that I am a traditionalist and would like to have my husbands last name (sort of :-). Though, I am going to miss using the term "Holy Flower" (Saint-Fleur).  That piece of paper we proudly received making it official wasn't fully the whole deal. Unfortunately, getting my new name on the marriage license isn't enough.

The process:

• Original Marriage License
• Social Security Office
• DMV
• Bank

After making those trips above:

• Credit Cards
• Voter Registration
• Passport (keeping my old one :-)
• Post Office
• Insurance and more!

This is how far my name change has made it:

oh, and Social Networks:

Whether I change to Makerbie Rema or Makerbie St.Fleur-Rema, point is that I wish I didn’t have to make trips to certain offices to make it official.  With that said, I have no choice...sigh!
