Laura Corin Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Picked it up with no problem - Royal Mail turned out to be much more flexible than they claimed. She barely glanced at my marriage licence, said 'Brothers are like that' and asked me to sign my maiden name. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocassie Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I have to admit that I generally think of people by the name they were first introduced to me, and it takes considerable effort to recall that they wished to be addressed differently. For example, I have a really good friend from high school. In high school and all through college, I called her Jennie. After graduating college and getting an engineer job she wanted to go by her full name Jennifer because it sounded more professional and adult. I still think of her as Jennie, and I try my hardest to remember to call or address her as Jennifer, but when I am on autopilot, Jennie comes out. It is the same way with friends who I knew before they changed their last name due to marriage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefgazer Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Plenty of people don't seem to know my name; there are a few who seem to think my last name is DH's last name. But I am sure their mistake is deliberate. Edited January 18, 2016 by reefgazer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
