my filipino fiancee's new name after our marriage

[envy_me 18]

I'm also Confused this before but it's a matter of preference anyway. Here's my example say your name is Judy V. Santos then got married to John Smith. As married youre name now is Judy V. Smith the Santos is omitted. In my understanding you only have middle name if you have second name like Judy Ann.Ann is the middle name same as second name and maiden name is not middle name only if you have second name. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

in the philippines, if your name is Judy Ann V. Santos..

Ann is your part of your first name, like kinda second name..

V is the middle name.. (mom's maiden name)

and when u marry John Smith..

you're new name will be Judy Ann S. Smith..

so like S = Santos will be the new middle name (maiden name)..

like V (mom's maiden name) is already omitted..

and when u got a child and you wanna name her Vilma..

her name will be Vilma S. Smith..

S = Santos your maiden last name..

so to cut this short, in the philippines..

we use our mom's maiden last name as our middle name..

i hope that dint confuse you guys..

Just imagine if the fiancee have 3 or 4 first names? Like: Maria Kristina Cassandra C. Concepcion, this will probably be more confusing to non filipinos.

i bet!

Hi everyone its been a while since I posted here! My fiancee and I are filling in our form for our marriage licence. I was thinking this would be a simple matter, but now I'm confused. She wants to move her now last name to be her new middle name. I guess this is the practice in the Philippines. Will this be allowed here in the USA, since all her immigration forms state her middle name already, can she go and change her middle name AND last name once we are married??? OR,....Should we just stick to the formality in the USA and just have her take my last name and keep the middle name she has now??? Thanks for the help!!!

I have a friend who used her middle as here middle name still and her last name is her husband's and she has no problem with it .

Me too I used my middle name still. Thankfully, I don't have any problem.
