do you use both maiden and married name on FB?

EJS425 · November 2009

i have been thinking a lot about what i will do -- just seems right to use both names esp when i look at recently married friends with their new last name and blank out for a second at who it is. what do you do?

I use both, its makes it easier for people to find you. Also My sister Inlaw has the same name as me so it helps people not get confused.

I use my maiden name followed by my married name. It's easier for old friends to find me by that.

Yup. I'm like 100 lbs heavier than I was when I graduated high school 8 years ago and no one would know who I was if I didn't use my maiden name!

I don't. I didn't like my maiden last name and my first name is different enough that if they are FB friend worthy they will know who I am.

I think FB just added something where you can write it in without having to hyphenate.

I have both on my page.

BTW- I received the cutest things EVER in the mail today I'll post some pics when DH finds my USB cord ;P

Use this option

Full Alternate Name:
(optional)

Maiden Name

Note: Please enter a full name. This will help people who know you by another name find you in search.

Also display on my profile and in search results

I do. Reduces confusion, I think. Especially since I changed what I use as my first name when I got married (I just think it works better with my married name....)

This is what I do. I also make sure my profile pic always has me in it so people will know it's me.

I use both so people from high school and college will know who I am!

HuneyofJeremy · November 2009

I used both. Most of my friends do too.

I use both-- I legally changed my middle name to be my maiden name anyway, so technically it's just my full name.

I only use my married name b/c it makes it harder for ppl to find me. I've been on FB forever and have too many friends as it is. I have pretty strict privacy settings, too.
