Re: Man changing name upon marriage

I had some friends who got married, and who decided to come up 
with a new last name for both of them (symbol of their new life together,
and also, they had both had unhappy marriages before and wanted to start
really fresh).  She had no problem getting her credit cards and bank 
accounts changed.  HE, however, had to scream "SEX DISCRIMINATION" at the
top of his lungs before the card companies, etc would change his info.

Speaking of banks, I have a friend who is changing back to her "maiden"
(so ridiculous to call it that these days, how many women are 'maidens'
at the time of marriage?) name after an ugly marriage, and the bank wont
accept the change until the divorce is final.
