Having been miss fee for as long as I can remember do I change it to mrsfee or mrs sock victim?
As I am still going to be me - as I have been professionally for quite some time now, and I am quite attached to my current name - even thought I like the Sock Victim's name.
I do feel quite strongly about keeping my own name in the real world.
But perhaps I should just be both missfee and mrs sock victim as they do in Europe you keep your maiden name for all official documents and your married name for social engagements.
currently on the couch with some bad DVDs, snot and knitting........

Oh, me too (that is, on the couch, bad dvds and knititng). I've just watched Irma la Douce - have you seen it?
Oh Fee, you can't abandon 'miss fee' - or at most you could move to 'ms fee'. If, however, you do choose to mark the marital status change, what about using both surnames but putting the Sock Victim's surname before yours?
Don't lose your name - it's so hard to reclaim it if you want to in the future for professional reasons. You'll always be Miss Fee to me. :)
Be Bi-nominal like me - keep work name the same (less confusing for the Pay Office) and change to whatever combination for shared domestic circumstances and/or when offspring arrive. If applying for joint financial arrangements make sure you put your name first and that they acknowledge that. The hassle I've had keeping statements addressed to both me and partner instead of "Mr and Mrs John Smith". This is supposed to be the 21st C but not to Bank Managers.
