Feminism and Changing my Name

Guides for Brides - The Wedding Podcast

With lots of talk in the media recently about whether as a feminist you can take your husbands name once married, we thought we’d ask someone who helps people change their names for a living! In today’s episode of Guides for Brides - The Wedding Podcast, Nikita is joined by Cecile from NameSwitch. They go through their takes on the big question, as well as many other common queries of a similar nature. They also walk through the options you have when it comes to your married name; including double-barrelling and even blending names together to create something completely new.
