Using the husband's surname, will you or will you not?

[iwannabeasupermodel]

i'm not sure, ako kasi yung nagcontinue nung legacy/tradition ng pamilya ko, so baka hindi?

Im unapologetic about this, im keeping mine, hyphen si h2b. M kast name carries so much pride in it, its not that i dont want his, i just want mine.

Question for the ladies who retained their maiden surname,
- if magchange ng status for the ids and passport, ilalagay mo married ka, yung last name ba nakasulat eh original surname-new surname? Or just the orignal surname, tas kumbaga for common use na lang yung hyphenated? Or you could opt to do either?

-once registered na ang marriage nyo, pag nag nbi clearance ba, last name ng asawa mo ang lalabas, or still yours, or the hyphenated version...

Help lang, please enlighten me, will have civil wedding next month. I love my name, willing to add name to it but not 'hide' it.. In honor of my dad din ito.

^hi hun! In my case kasi, I opted not to use my husband's name either sa common use or legal docs. Like my passport says married pero, i have the same name as before. When i updated my work visa, married pero same name. Even my schengen visa was like this, and even maybe my us visa (im yet to know, next month pa ko mag-a-apply. But so far, i got no issues outside the PI.

Sa NBI, i'm yet to know as well.

I am not suppose to use my husband's name but due to legal paper works, I had to change name. Para lang mapadali lahat.

[darkmocha]

I now use my husband's surname. Tho sometimes, if needed sa documents I still use my old surname kasi hassle dami pa kailangan to change to married name hehe

[theshopaholicprincess]

sa grad school I haven't changed my surname. I still retain my maiden name at sa ibang papers dito sa office kasi mas madali. Andami kasi inaasikaso pero I acknowledge his surname kasi hypenated sya after my maiden surname.

[jenger109]

No! That would be my gift to my father.. Ang ganda ng profession ko, tapos ang cacarry ko yung family name ng wala namang kahirap hirap sa akin?!

[chiclet_24]

I am recently married, so i am using my maiden name hyphen surname ni hubby kasi mas kilala ako sa maiden name ko esp sa work.... Though may mga times na pag nag fifilled up ako ng mga forms surname lang ni hubby gamit ko para maiksi  hehe

[Beng01]

I use my husband's family name, but when filling up forms, i include my maiden name.

[web147]

I didn't know na pwede pala i retain yung maiden surname, sana di ko nalang pinalitan sakin. ang dami kasi nahihirapan sa surname ko! and mas proud ako sa maiden surname ko eh

[airish_2]

planning to keep my surname and just hyphen his surname.

[MaraAlmighty]

Pwede pala na hindi gamitin ang surname ng husband? Sayang naman. I actually like to use my Father's surname especially when I got work and all. Kaso too late na, gamit ko na surname ni husband ko.

Actually, I just told him a while ago. Sabi niya pwede nga daw. Sabi ko bakit di niya sinabi edi sana ginamit ko pa din surname ko hindi yung sayo. Ayun, nagalit sakin. Hahahaha!

[t_r_i_c_i_a]

I actually asked my bf about this, kung d ko daw gagamitin surname niya. Kalimutan ko na rin daw na magpapakasal kami. So.. I guess it's not an option for me.

[stameygirl]

^Ganun? Nag-propose na ba? Haba ng hair niya ha.

[FayeP]

at first, di ko gamit lastname ni hubby although un mga government forms like SSS, BIR, philhealth, pinapalitan ko na, pero sa work maiden name ko talaga gamit ko...

pero nagkaproblem ka\\ako sa bank kasi un check ko sa SSS, eh married name ang nakalagay tapos un bank account ko maiden name so pinapalitan ko na lahat pati un sa work...kaya gamit ko na lastname nya...

[muy003]

Ladies, saang document magrereflect na im using or not using my hubby's surname? Sa cert of marriage, the name of the wife, as typed is still my maiden name. Thats usual naman? I want to understand lang, saang document we can get to sorta decide we're using our own surname. Is there that one document that will signify the decision which surname we're using? I know na papachange status yung ibang docs, pero im concerned sa name, pakilinaw lang mga misis. Kung di ko ipapabago name, its me keeping my own name, parang ganun ba yun?? haha. gulo ba? sorry..

Thank you!

[stameygirl]

^ If you're keeping your maiden name, then only the change in your legal status will be reflected in documents.

[Myealexis21]

I'm still using my maiden name right now.  But I'm planning to use his.  As much as I love my surname, gusto ko parepareho kami ng surname ng future children ko

[Kailarueluka]

it means a lot to my husband that is why i give in.
right now im using his surname along side my maiden name. kahit sa business card mas masaya sya pag kasama ang surname nya sa pangalan ko! 
medyo madami lang ako ginawang update sa status at legalities like passport, sss, insurance, etc

[mrsB]

Oo naman. Ang sabi nga ng friend ko nung college, "iisang pamilya kayo kaya dapat iisa ang apelido."

I am now officially using my husband's surname after a few months of retaining the use of my maiden name. Mas madali kasi kung consistent na married name na ang gagamitin sa mga documents, less hassle in the future.
