What would you do if your fiancé wanted you to change your last name to theirs after you get married, but you're not completely sold on it?
We had someone ask us this on socials recently, so I've brought back Gen from Easy Name Change to answer this question and three other name change questions that our followers most wanted to know the answers to.
Including if you can change parts of your given name or names after you get married and what to do if you want to have the same last name as your baby and you’ve left it a bit late – like on the way to the hospital late. Believe it or not, it’s pretty common, and Gen walks you through exactly what to do.
Gen was on the Unbridely podcast back in Ep19 with “3 Mistakes People Make When Changing Their Last Name After Getting Married” but that was back in 2023. So quite a few things have shifted since then.
She’s also noticed with a new generation now starting to get married that there’s added anxiety around the paperwork and process so she’s going to talk you through how to ease that as well, no matter where you live. Because Easy Name Change has a presence across the United States, Canada, the UK and Australia and all of the processes are a little bit different.
Plus if you're listening to this when it's released, for the month of September 2026 (like from the 1st of September all the way through to the 30th of September), there is a $20 Easy Name Change discount code waiting for you at the end of the episode to help you out too.
