I'm posting this for itivax!lml, who isn't able to get news out of her site. Please don't reply to me (Dave Sherman). = = = = = = = I need to know (as quickly as possible) any horror stories, anecdotes, or whatever about problems women have had after changing their names to their husbands' names upon marriage. By problems, I really mean with the gov't, credit bureaus, business contacts, and in other official and quasi-official areas, though some personal problems may also be relevant, if someone would like to share them. Please mail your info directly to me unless you feel what you have may be of interest to the net. I will summarize the responses if there is interest. Please note that I'm not interested in opinions about the propriety and tradition of name changing, just the cold, hard facts. Similarly, personal experience is better than a story you heard happened to your brother's employer's niece's babysitter. Thanks in advance, Lisa Lampert ...ihnp4!umich!itivax!lml

I don't know if this was the law or merely Merrill Lynch's practice, but back in 1965 (California) I was informed that Merrill Lynch wouldn't act as my agent to sell stocks I'd been given as a minor without a consent form from my husband, because I'd filed a change of name to my married name on the stock certificate -- even though the stocks had never been commingled with my married property. --Lee Gold
