JillMatrix deals with the insidious combination of government bureaucracy and a name change.
I have never regretted Margie having kept her last name; the confusion that I encountered when I got her name on my CostCo card makes it clear that the whole name-changing thing is for the birds. Especially if you have to deal with the DMV.
