View, Ca. Lines: 18 Approved: nadel@aerospace.aero.org Status: R Maybe the problem is that you are dropping your old middle name. I just appended my husband's name, no hyphen, so that I now have 2 middle names (my old one plus my maiden name). I had to make this change with the state of CA through the DMV and separately with the Social Security Agency. In both cases I just filled out a form. Marla Corinne Wilcox Parker I generally leave out the Wilcox because I never liked the way it sounds. You could just as easily generally leave out your old middle name, and just use it for really important legal documents. marla -- Marla Parker (415) 336-2538 marla@eng.sun.com
