Isabella Cruise Changing Her Name?!

Is Isabella Cruise changing her name? The media is a buzz with the news of Isabella Cruise (the adopted daughter of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise) tying the knot with Max Parker. The marriage seems to have been a bit of a surprise, and Isabella’s family was not present for the ceremony.

Despite the unconventional lack of parents at her wedding, Isabella may have gone the traditional route and changed her last name to Parker. Reports are surfacing that the newlywed is already legally Mrs. Isabella Parker. Her age (22), and the fact that she has a brother to carry on the family name (Connor) are two key factors that that influence all bride’s name change choice towards taking a spouse’s last name post marriage.

If Isabella hasn’t changed her name yet, but is contemplating her options, she should play the MarriedNameGame to allow its algorithm to uncover her perfect married name. Regardless of what name she chooses, we wish her the very best in her new life as a wife!

Is Jennifer Aniston Changing Her Name to Mrs. Jennifer Theroux?!

Jennifer Aniston recently married Justin Theroux, and that happy event of course leads to the question…”Is Jennifer Aniston Changing Her Name?” While most women who trade on their names professionally (doctors, lawyers, realtors, writers, television/movie stars etc.) opt to keep their maiden names in some way. Name change after marriage is always a personal choice. Amal Clooney is a perfect example of a woman bucking “name change tradition” by taking her spouse’s name.

When Jennifer Aniston was married to Brad Pitt she did take his name legally. But, continued to work under her maiden name. I am curious if Jennifer will make the name change commitment in her second marriage. If the key factors that influence name change are explored, her age and occupation would skew Jennifer’s choice towards keeping her maiden name in some way.

The great thing is…it’s Jennifer’s choice..all women in the U.S. have the right to choose to change their names after marriage or not. We do hope if Jennifer is considering changing her name that she plays the MarriedNameGame to find her ultimate last name option!

Taylor Swift Married Name Change?!

Taylor Swift Married Name Change? How did we come up with this headline?Though she’s not quite a newlywed yet. Taylor Swift would be happy to become Mrs. Taylor Harris if she marries her current boyfriend, Calvin Harris. Insiders report that she is planning to replace her maiden name with Harris at least personally, while using Taylor Swift professionally.

Taylor is currently 25, which is a life factor that affects women’s married name change decision. The younger a bride is at the time of her marriage, the more likely she is to take her spouse’s name in some way. Taylor’s mega fame is a life factor that typically swings women towards keeping their maiden names, as women whose professional lives are tied to name recognition.

Finally, the factor of personal style affects a bride’s name change choice. Taylor Swift is a very classic and traditional woman, so I can see that being the factor that nudges her decision to taking Calvin’s last name and becoming Mrs. Harris.

Regardless of her name change choice when she marries Calvin (or whomever her future spouse may be), we wish Taylor the very best in life and love!

Curious what factors in your life will influence your married name change? Play the Married Name Game to find your perfect married name! If you’re interested in the idea of Taylor Swift married name change, because of your own. We’d love to help you with the MissNowMrs app or online service!

Newlywed Needs: What To Do After “I do”

Do you know what to do after “I do?” Newlywed life is pretty great. You just married the love of your life, most likely honeymooned somewhere amazing and now can look forward to spending the rest of your lives together. At some point, most newlyweds hit the “so now what” point. No need to feel lost…here’s a list of newlywed to-do’s to keep you moving forward in marital bliss.

Newlywed To Do #1: Make a Name Change Decision
Now that you’re a newlywed, one or both of you have the option to change your name. Discuss your thoughts on the topic and then make a decision together. The longer you wait to change your name (if that is your plan) the more places you will need to change it. As a newlywed you’re going to end up merging a few accounts and creating new ones. Having the name you intend to have for life prior to making those changes will save you the time and stress of having to change your name on both old and new accounts. If you’re overwhelmed with all the places you need to change your name, use the MissNowMrs online name change service to go from Miss to Mrs. in minutes!

Newlywed To Do #2: Merge Bank/Insurance Accounts
Now that’ you’re an official “household” you can use your newlywed status to score discounted rates on home, health and auto insurance! Do a little research to see what company offers the best deal and then delegate who changes what and who pays what. I suggest separate bank accounts and a joint savings account as a key way to keeping a happy marriage, but if one of you is a financial wiz, you may elect to merge all of your bank accounts.

Newlywed To Do #3: Handle the Holidays
Holidays (much like weddings) bring out the best and worst in families. Putting together a plan of where you will be for each holiday, and ideally which holiday you’ll host in your home, will help you navigate the holidays as newlyweds and set the tone for future family celebrations. Just “going with the flow” is a great way to enter holiday hell, upset family members on both sides and miss the true reason for whatever season you’re in.

Newlywed To Do #4: Create a 5 Year Plan
You’re newlyweds and the world is your oyster. Now is the time to decide what is important to you both and where you want to be in five years. Do you want to own your own home, get a secondary degree, purchase a pet, have children or travel the world in the next five years? The answers to these questions will help you map out your finances and goals. It’s such an exciting time…make the most of it and make sure you end up where you want to. You’re in charge of your happily ever after!
