Actually, we had a bit of a problem with our name change. In Minnesota, you can apply for a marriage license in any county regardless of where you live or where you are going to marry. We applied in Hennepin County (Minneapolis) because the office was convenient even though we live in Ramsely County (St. Paul). In Hennepin County you can't change your name directly on the marriage application. In Ramsey County you can. We found that out AFTER we got married. So, we have to actually go through the process Charles describes below to get our names changed. So, legally, our last names haven't changed yet to Geller -- that will take a couple of months of bureaucracy. But, we call ourselves Geller as of 4/27. --Susan -----Original Message----- From: Wortz, Charles [mailto:CWortz at tea.state.tx.us] Sent: Monday, May 05, 2003 10:58 AM To: dba-sqlserver at databaseadvisors.com; AccessD at databaseadvisors.com Subject: RE: [dba-SQLServer]OT: New Name (cross posted) Francisco, In the United States almost anyone can legally change their name for almost any reason. In many of the states all that you have to do is fill out the proper forms, pay the proper fees, and affirm that you are not changing your name to hide from your creditors or the law. Check with your local courthouse or a local lawyer on the details in your state. Are you thinking of changing your last name to Tapioca? <grin> Or maybe Tap?

Typ-o. I didn't know you could make up a last name when you got married. Is that just a state thing or is that nation wide... (thinking why didn't I change my name to something new ;o)) -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com _______________________________________________ dba-SQLServer mailing list dba-SQLServer at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-sqlserver http://www.databaseadvisors.com
