Quick legal surname question following marriage

[Zippee]

We're getting married shortly and rather than take my surname my other half is going to double barrel hers-mine with me keeping mine as is.
Does anyone know if this can be done on the day just via the marriage cert/register? We've asked the registrars but they are a little vague on this subject.
Some people have said that this type of name change can only be done by deed-poll instead - again does anyone know if this is true?

Thanks in advance

Dunno,

...but is her surname Dark?

Lots of useful info there - although I admit it's not something I like - always seems a touch pretentious somehow. I just kept my own maiden name as I preferred it but don't mind if people assume I have taken my OH's name and address me as such.

BIN IT!

Clearly up her own arse! or an only child with issues- been there. lol!

The Mrs has both surnames-hypenated in her passport, all posh-like, which is quite common in Holland. Though sometimes she uses her maiden name and sometimes mine to add to the confusion. The kids have only mine though.

Yeah! Thanks for your informative reply! tt!!


The reason we are thinking of this is my current name - Tony Brown, hers Beverley Temple.
Beverley Brown just doesn't sound right. Tony Temple sounds like a gay magician!
Beverley temple-Brown sounds better to us plus she'd ideally like to keep her family name (especially as it relates to her business).

I am pretty sure the deed poll suggestion is correct.

I think the usual married name can be changed by informing people (or not if you wish to keep your maiden name) and also including a certificate of marriage with some things like passports, most other things don't care and you just have to tell them of a change but if it's different to the name of your new husband you have to use deed poll....

That sounds quite good actually.
If she's in business-to-business activities then the initials are quite ideal too!

Beverley Brown sounds quite normal in my opinion.

Force it on her

Whats wrong with Beverly Brown? She is becoming your wife, and the fact that you would even contemplate changing your surname is, well frankly just bizarre?

If she's in business everyone will understand she's got married, why would she change the business name?

sorry bud, no offence but - grow a pair.

You must be stuck in the last century,
they know what they want to do and are not asking for your ill informed advice regarding what name they have.
