How should a man who has changed his name when marrying refer to his previous name? It hardly seems right to call it a "maiden name". Any ideas? Or is there perhaps a convention of which I am unaware? Andre Guirard "Twopence a week and jam every other day."

Or is there perhaps a convention of which I am unaware? I think that "previous name" gets the job done. Or you could call it his "ex-name." Or you could call it his "birth surname" provided he hasn't changed his name before he was married. Or you could call him Ray, or you could call him Jay..., but you don't have to call him Johnson! Oh...what's in a name anyway? Lee
