Can you add a 2nd middle name after marriage?

Asked by seekingwolf (10410points) March 12th, 2012

Not planning on getting married but this is something that I’ve been wondering.

Is possible to change your name to Firstname MiddleName MaidenName (as a 2nd middle name) HisLastName after marriage?

I could see myself doing this because I’d like to change my last name but still retain my maiden because it means a lot to me and my family name is very big in the field I’m going into because many relatives are involved in it. So it means a lot to me to keep it.

I also want to keep my middle name because it goes GREAT with my first name and it’s a relative’s name. So I can’t just drop it.

Just wondering if anyone else has done this. I’m in NY btw (not the city!).
