Social media name change?

I am changing my last name and I have two middle names already so I wouldn't add another middle name or replace one of the ones I already have since they are family names. I am going to change my last name on Facebook. I haven't decided on whether I want to list it as an alternate name, but I'm thinking I probably won't. I will probably change it that night after the wedding. I know one friend of ours changed her at dinner during her wedding, but I think I will wait until after the reception just so I am not playing on my phone.

Hey there
I plan on changing my social media name once my name change is official. I know some people change it right after the wedding but i wont change it untill i have my new ss card and all that. I also plan on changing my facebook name to Emily Venenga (Schilling) that way if someone searches for me with my maiden name then they can still find me.
As for your instagram account i would just keep it as your first and middle name

I'll change my name on Facebook when my names changes legally. I'll list my maiden name as an alternative name so that people can still search it. I have no plans to change my Instagram handle.

I’m super excited to be changing my name

For Instagram, I’m going to be changing my handle entirely - my maiden name is veeeeery generic so it’s my first name, last initial, and some numbers. As of now, my married firstname.lastname is available, so hopefully I’ll be changing it to that!

On Facebook, I’m going to do the alternate name thing so it shows First Last (Maiden). I’ll probably eventually take the maiden off, but that’s what I’ll be doing right away!

I changed my name the night I got married. I didn't keep my maiden name anywhere. I don't want that name associated with me ever again.

I’m changing my name after the ceremony. And I’m not keeping my maiden name on there...the question what is your mothers maiden name was always a big security question and now it’s plastered on everything! Maybe that’s too paranoid but I just don’t feel right about it. People won’t be able to search me with my maiden name but I’m not really concerned about that. Everyone I need to talk to has kept in touch with me already or knows about the wedding.

I plan on adding his last name to mine on social media probably the night of the wedding, but I will not remove my last name and I will not change my ig handle.

View Quoted Comment For Facebook, I did exactly this! I’ll probably only keep the (Maiden name) for a few years until everyone is used to the new name.

As for when I did it, I did it right after! I was too excited to wait lol. But I don’t see anything wrong with waiting or not waiting. Just do you!

The only thing I was absolutely not going to do, was keep both last names on FB. I don’t have any attachments to my last name, in fact, I couldn’t wait to get rid of it. So do whatever is best for you

I hadn't actually thought about it. I can't wait to change my name but as far as Facebook, I only have my first and middle anyway. I'm actually not sure if I will add my last name or not.

My first name is super generic and my new last name will also be super generic lol so I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do. Legally, I'm leaning toward making my current last name my middle name and dropping my actual first name. So it would be: Sarah, My Maiden Name, New Last Name. Currently on all my social media I go by my full name - first, middle, last so I'm not sure if I will keep it that way and move my maiden to my middle and add my new last name, or if I will just do my first name and new last name. So many options! Lol I will definitely change it right after we are married though.

I'm first middle on both, so I'll be keeping them the same

I am going to change my last name and add my maiden name to the alternate so in theory people can still search me by last name, although I have my account so private that you have to have a mutual friend to see me anyway.

Yes, I will be on all social media! My instagram name is my first & middle name, so I'll keep my username but change the name on my profile. For snap & Facebook & pinterest, I'll change them!

I’m changing my name on everything! I don’t plan on keeping my maiden name on anything.
I haven’t figured out my new ig name yet, so if anyone has anything for Lexi Stallings let me know!

My husband changed his name too, a few months before me but never changed it online. The morning after the wedding while waiting on our plane we changed everything together and it was kind of fun! I only changed Facebook. I’m not active on any of my other social accounts and i don’t plan on changing my email as of right now. I listed my maiden name as an alternate name, but it doesn’t show on my profile.

On Facebook I changed my name from "First Last" to "First Maiden NewLastName"! That way my name was updated but people can still find me who don't remember my married name!

I have not changed my instagram handle yet! I definitely wish I hadn't included my last name originally!!

The tradition of changing the surname in the passport and social networks after marriage is a relic of the past.

Well, I think I'll leave my maiden name on social networks. But for me, it's probably more of a marketing ploy.
