marriage

[hope19]

Do i have to change my name if i get married?
I would like to have certificate with married name on but keep my maiden name on all documents plus bank account etc.
Is that ok to do?

No, you can continue to use your current name - in fact anyone call themselves anything they like legally

as long as it isnt for the purpose of fraud and suchlike

Thanks,it wouldn`t be so bad if his surname was ok but it`s not!! lol

Why not have a double barrelled surname - e.g

Maiden name = Norton

Fiance's name = Smith

Marriage name = Norton - Smith

[BertiWooster]

oops - I didn't read your comment about his surname

Nurse - is it time for my medication ?

[hope19]

Surname is Batley!! I don`t want to be named after a town!!

[BertiWooster]

Batley ? - Nothing wrong with that - I thought you meant a really embarrising name like , Hussy

[Velvetee]

My surname is "Battie" and my partner's is "Mann". I'm not sure having the names double barrelled would work.

[tamborine]

Mann has gotta be better than Battie. Your son will be teased with a surname of Battie - he'll have to learn to box!

LOL

Battie / batty , is west indian slang for bottom - as in bum .

Battie - Mann .
I dont know if that's the direction you were heading
