POTOMAC — Married name change is a hot topic right now. Wedding season is in full swing and millions of U.S. brides are about to make the switch from Miss to Mrs. Feminists and sociologists debate the reasons and implications, but more and more women are changing their names in some way after they say “I do.”
Facebook recently used their user statistics to publish a study Examining How Married Women Keep or Change Their Names On Facebook , which explores married name change trends within several age categories. In the same vein, Yahoo Shine just published an article on the topic: Retro Marriage Trend Makes a Comeback . Stars like Jennifer Aniston and Kanye West are adding fuel to the media buzz as they consider changing their names after tying the knot.
Name change after marriage should be an easy to-do after brides make their decision, but the process is wrought with paperwork and laws that vary from state to state. Danielle Tate’s frustration during her own married name change process sparked the idea for a name change solution that would help all brides and newlyweds attempting to go from Miss to Mrs., MissNowMrs.com.
MissNowMrs.com, the premier online name change service for brides, has been simplifying the transition from Miss to Mrs. since its inception in late 2006.
