    This is the only reason I didn’t change my name when I got married. (I’m a guy, but her last name is much better than mine)

      Yeah that’s fair. I think they’re better about marriage based name changes (social security absolutely is). I’m just glad I didn’t try on multiple names before picking one while transitioning.

      Ooh, there’s dozens of us!

      I’m a guy who did change his last name to hers. I regret everything years later still (paperwork wise, marriage and name wise no regrets)
