New name

[titianmac]

Okay so its daft but so far the only people who know my new name are the guy who sold raffle tickets in the supermarket and the booking clerk at a local resteraunt....
I just want to tell the world! Having a double barrel surname previously my name has always caused quite a fuss and suddenly when i want it to theres nothing!
I'm getting nervous though at the thought of a new signature. The old one was mine for years--- what happens if you sign your maiden name by mistake ???!!!

I did that once and told the woman at the check out what i did. I had flashbacks from whoopie goldberg in Ghost. (unessesary comment)

Well she completely understood, voided the transaction, called the supervisor to explain and then re entered the transaction. It has stopped me ever doing it again, and my friends said I am daft because they said when they first got married they found themselves fondly looking at the printed name on the front of the card when retreiving it from their purse, that it reminded them of the signature.

I have been married 4 months now and I find my signature changes almost daily because it is just finding itself if you know what I mean. It has changed so much since I have got my new cards that I am thinking of sending off for new cards as the signature dosen't really match. Although with this new pin and chip thing. I am not sure it is necessary.

What would happen if you (like titianmac) already had a double barrel maiden name and wanted to marry someone and keep their name, t'would be triple barrel. And I don't even want to think of a double barrel bride marrying a double barrel groom and keeping all the names!
