Does a new name make for a happier newlywed? Does a divorcee feel more confident with their former name? Or is it all just an outdated tradition?
Easy Name Change is the world’s leading name change service and they are on a mission to find out! Established in 2008, their service has helped over half a million people transition smoothly to their new name. Easy Name Change is known for saving customers in the USA, Canada, Australia and the UK significant time with their customized name change system and ready to send forms.
Their landmark survey is calling for anyone who has changed their name in the last 24 months or plan to do so within the next year to share their story! What motivated you to change names and how do you feel since?
The goal is to gather insights from 1,000 respondents in the U.S., focusing on their motivations, experiences, and challenges of taking a new name, particularly for newlyweds.
“Share your name change experience with us! It is a powerful story that can inspire and shape the future,” says Genevieve Dennis, founder of Easy Name Change. “Your insights are invaluable as we navigate a world where identity is evolving more than ever.”
Why Your Participation Matters
This survey delves into a range of topics, from the emotional journey of adopting a new name to the practical challenges of the resulting bureaucracy. By sharing your experience, you’ll contribute to a growing body of knowledge that may help improve services and inform policies for future name changers.
The study builds on the success of Easy Name Change’s Australian Name Change Survey, which has been running since 2011. That survey revealed notable shifts in attitudes toward married and legal name change, particularly in gender roles. They noted an increasing social acceptance of men taking their spouse’s surname. Now, Easy Name Change aims to capture similar insights in the U.S. to better understand how these changes are affecting people’s lives and decisions.
