Marriage in the Philippines means you take your maiden name as middle name?
Levin and I are now married.
Levin's name on the marriage certificate is Levin Gaw Kelleher
First Name: Levin
Middle Name: Gaw (Levin's maiden name)
Surname: Kelleher (Ed's surname)
Levin tells me that her name is Mrs Kelleher, yet she has updated her Facebook from Levin Gaw to Levin Gaw Kelleher.
I see this leading to potential confusion in terms of the upcoming visa application, as well in general when she reaches the UK
Levin tells me this is a Filipino custom, and every married woman does this in Philippines.
Has anyone out there had similar experiences with this?
If so, how did you guys deal with it?
Thanks in advance
Ed
