Angelina Changes to Her Married Name, Surprising the World with a Semi-Conventional Switch

Shocked Angelina changes to her married name? Every time the world believes it understands Angelina Jolie, she does something unconventional. Now she’s surprising the press by doing something semi-conventional: Angelina changes her married name. Angelina has made two high profile uses of the name Angelina Jolie Pitt recently, which indicates she’s made the switch mentally and most likely legally.
Taking two last names is a very popular name change choice for newlyweds in 2015, and it makes sense for Angelina. This option allows the star to keep the maiden name associated with her early work and take on her husband’s famous name. More importantly, her last name will now match those of her six children. Her age also plays a factor, as most women over 35 tend to keep their maiden names in some way.

The other name change trending upwards with brides this year is taking a maiden name as a middle name. This name change options also allows women to hold onto their maiden names but not have to say them at every introduction. Curious what name change option is right for you? Play the Married Name Game and let its patent-pending algorithm help determine the married name that is perfect for you!

Ashlee Simpson’s Married Name Change

There’s nothing like a new year to spark newlyweds’ need to change to their new married names! Have you heard about Ashless Simpson’s married name change? Following her November nuptials with Evan Ross, Ashlee Simpson is changing her maiden name to the married name of Ross-Naess. Her husband, Evan’s legal last name is Naess, but he is know professionally by his mother’s last name of Ross. The family elected to combine both names with a hyphen and all have the same name.

While her sister, Jessica Simpson, was the first to announce wanting to change to her married name, Ashlee looks to be the Simpson making a new married name official in 2015. Mrs. Ross-Naess is typically a trend setter, so it will be interesting to see if her hyphenated last name increases the popularity of hyphenation with brides and newlyweds this year. Hyphenation was trending downwards as a name change option in 2014, as many women elect to take their maiden names as middle names and forgo the mouthful hyphenations can create.

Whether you’re a celebrity or not, 2015 is a great year to make the transition to Mrs. MissNowMrs.com is an easy online name change service & app that condense the 13 hour process into 30 minutes! It’s a newlywed’s best option. Unless you have personal assistants!

Did Mila Kunis Change Her Name to Mrs. Kutcher?!

Kutchers Name Change — Will Mila Kunis Change Her Name?

We all know that Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are engaged and have an adorable daughter together….BUT they may have tied the knot over the holidays! Ashton posted a Happy New Year message from the Kutchers photo on his Facebook recently (see above). If they’re sharing a last name one could speculate that they’re legally married.

At age 31, Mila wasn’t my first pick for stars changing their names in 2015. Statically, the older a bride is when she gets married, the more likely she is to keep her maiden name in some way. As women whose names are tied to their profession are less likely to change their names after marriage, Mila’s star status would skew her towards keeping her last name of Kunis. I would venture that if Mila legally changes her name after marrying Ashton, she would be Mrs. Mila Kunis Kutcher (with her maiden name as a middle name). Maiden to middle name change is a trend that is continuing to gain popularity with U.S. newlyweds, regardless of celebrity status.

October is the height of newlywed name change and the star is one of many hundreds of thousands of women making the transition to Mrs. While Jessica is opting to replace Simpson with Johnson, she could have hyphenated both last names, taken both last names sans hyphen or taken her maiden name as a middle name.

Many stars opt to continue working under their maiden names despite changing their last names. It will be interesting to see what Jessica ends up doing with her name professionally. We sincerely hope she uses the MissNowMrs.com married name change service to make the completion and filing of her name change paperwork straightforward and fast!
