After Bruschetta’s post a few days ago about ’we-mailing’ I realized that my email address has the initial of what will soon be my maiden name. Although I think it’s perfectly acceptable to keep using this email, a little part of me is really excited to use my new last name.
So I created a new email address to embrace my married last name. It may be a little premature, and I swear I won’t start using it until after the wedding, since it’s probably ’bad luck’, but I wanted to reserve it ASAP. It’s a little like practicing signing your married name before you are officially married - who hasn’t done that, right?
Will you change your email to reflect your new name?
I’ve reserved my new gmail address as well for when I get married. I don’t someone else having it!
Plus it’s kind of fun…
Yeah, I got a Gmail account with his last name months before we got engaged ;). I’ll probably forward all emails (old name and new name) to one account and send from there with my married name as the “from” info, so I’ll never need to correct anyone.
I plan on it (okay, so I did the same thing and went ahead and reserved my “married” e-mail address so no one would take it)!
Great idea—I hadn’t really tought about this either, but my current email also uses my last initial which will no longer be once we are married. I’m still a ways away from the wedding—but probably a few months before I will change my adress also.
I wish I was changing my email address and my name. My new name would be super boring. Mr. Joey and his whole family thinks I should keep my name.
I started a new email registration but chickened out. I just didn’t feel right, yet. Luckily if I change it, it’ll be a really uncommon name so no worries about losing it.
I got my new gmail a couple of weeks ago, even though I won’t be using it for a year!! I didn’t want anyone else to take it before then though!
i had a panic attack one day when i realized my husband has a cousin with the same first name and my soon-to-be last name so i immediately hit up gmail but luckily either she doesn’t have a gmail or uses a different name so i snatched it up.
I got my new gmail address a few days after we got engaged. I can’t wait to start using it 
I did this only to find out the gmail address i wanted was already taken! who would have thought? i have a very unique name (or so i thought?!) so instead, i reversed it to lastname.firstname@gmail.com tahdah!
I registered for a new gmail account the very night we got engaged!
My “official” e-mail address actually is first letter of my first name followed by my whole last name, so I definitely needed to get a new address, but my name-to-be is very common, so no amount of playing around with it yielded an available address… So I had to add two letters at the end that indicate my professional field.
I’ve already reserved mine too, on gmail I’ve used it for booking honeymoon stuff.
My email is my first and middle names, so no changing for me.
Aww I didnt even think of reserving a new email address. I have only changed my email once before and its because I wanted to have a more “grown up” address.
Thats it I am going to reserve one right now…lol!!!
Yes I have my new gmail saved and ready to go! I think someone mentioned it on the boards a while back and it spurred me to reserve it early.
I created a gmail address with what will be my married name too. His last name is much more common than mine, and when he had trouble setting up a gmail account because all variations of his name were already taken, I figured I better set mine up before someone else snagged it!
Like @snake, my name-to-be is very, very common. I can’t find any gmail combos that are still available…I think i will just keep my old one. oh well….we’ll see if i can find anything that’s actually creative.
Anyone know how hard it is to port gmail docs/feeds/etc from one account to another?
@pailoflove: Smart thinking!!
@Miss French Bulldog: Thats so cute! I might have to do that once we figure out where the he** we are going!
@dani: I’m not sure but I’m very interested to find out! Any computer techies around?
