Hello ladies, i need some advice! I was very excited to take H's name, and started switching over bank/utilities to Mrs H when we got our marriage cert. HOWEVER, I did want to keep using my maiden informally at uni/work. (so instead of being "Mrs H" I'd be Mrs "M H" keeping maiden name as a sort of unofficial middle name). Thought there wouldn't be a problem with this, and there isn't, except when it comes to my degree certificate. That has to be issued in my legal name, and I don't want there to be a problem about that when i apply for jobs (the whole reason i need to keep maiden name in there is for name recognition as it links to publications etc)
So, do I fill out a deed poll and add my maiden name as a middle name? And if i do that, do i need to change my name with bank/utilities/dmv again? (not sure b/c its only a middle name). can't believe i've managed to get myself in such a mess with this.
