I have a very difficult to pronounce and long three first names."Jgracianna Amber Maylou". 
When I went to renew my Philippine passport they told me that my three first names will not fit on the bio page. So what they did was They only put my two first names "Jgracianna Amber", my middle name "Jeciel" (My mothers maiden name) and last name "Estrello" on the bio page and on the next page which was the limitations page, where they put Full name: Estrello, Jeciel, Jgracianna, Amber, Maylou.
Now, I came to US with a K1 visa and married my fiance, now husband within 90 days. 
My first name on our marriage certificate is "Jgracianna Amber" And I changed my Middle name to my maiden last name, Estrello, and last name, my husband's last name "Bell" ( I used the filipino method smh lol i know shouldnt have done it ) but anyways,
I haven't changed my passport to my married name yet, but is my first name now only Jgracianna Amber? No more Maylou? Or I still have to put what it says on my Birth Certificate and Passport? or put what it says on my marriage certificate??

I apologize if my explanations/questions are confusing, but feel free to ask if theres something else you want to know.

Opo, you are correct it looks like no Maylou na. What do you go by on a everday basis? Maylou, Amber, or Jgracianna? If it is Maylou then go back and try to change it at the clerk of court if not then don't worry about it. But it looks like to me that they did away with Maylou because of the length of your name. This is the USA and you can change your name any way you like when you get married or divorced. 

 

My asawa's name was Ruchelle Guinea Ohaylan, and when we got married she just changed it to Ruchelle Guinea Ohaylan-Sessoms. Also where in Pinas are you from?
