Kim Kardashian’s Name Change Plans

Have you heard about Kim Kardashian’s name change plans? Whether you’re Kim Kardashian engaged to Kanye West, or the average American bride, married name change is a big decision. Do you take your spouse’s name, hyphenate, take your maiden name as a middle name or just use your married name socially? With so many options and various state laws allowing or disallowing certain naming choices, it can be down right daunting to decide which names is right for you.

According to the Huffington Post, Kim Kardashian has decided to take Kanye’s last name, but keep her maiden name as a middle name. I’m curious how she came to this decision. Did she do some soul searching or try to find the ideal balance between her “brand” and the family she has started with Kanye? I think she should play the Married Name Game to see what the patent-pending algorithm determines as the best fit for her life. If any of you out there know her…please share this post with Kim!

Curious about what your ideal married name change option might be? Give the quiz a try. It’s fun, fast and very informative! If you’re thinking about changing your name, the MissNowMrs app and online service can save you 13 hours of hassle!

Jennifer Aniston Considers Name Change After Marriage

Jennifer Aniston considers name change is a big deal in our offices! Think you’re having trouble deciding whether you should change your name after marriage? Imagine being famous, like Jennifer Aniston famous, and deciding whether you should take his name, keep your name or hyphenate. Based on an article I just read, it seems that America’s sweetheart is considering becoming Mrs. Theroux.

Jennifer’s reasoning is that taking a new married last name will give her a fresh start. She has the challenge of figuring out if a married name will dim her stardom and recognition. Personally, I don’t think anyone will have any trouble recognizing Jennifer.

Brides-to-be who aren’t famous still have to decide if a new name will affect their careers in a positive or negative way. Many are taking two last names or keeping their maiden names as middle names to maintain recognition. Still other newlyweds are happy to have a new name on their business cards and new initials on their monogrammed bags!

What aspects of career and personal life weighed into your decision to change your name after marriage or not?
