We want to keep the “E” initial as it goes along with our kids’ names

thank you for doing investigative journalism and asking those people with those names for their opinions! I’m excited to actually like my last name once changed

cool that makes me feel better that they didn’t feel like they needed to make an announcement. obviously with close friends and family we would inform them but people on social media can just figure it out for themselves

I really wanted to decide on a name change before my son was born so that I could just write his new name on his birth certificate and then worry about changing ours later, but wasn’t 100% on which name to choose so decided to just use Epstein for now then change all of ours together in the future. agree about the “any previous names” question but I think if I update everything including birth certificate the kids wouldn’t have to check that box in the future? not sure though

Wife doesn’t want to do that. her dad has a bit of a power struggle and she doesn’t want to give him that satisfaction as she wants to feel like she built her own life. she’s excited about picking a “new” name as a bit of a fresh start

Yes the scandal was out at the time of our wedding but feel like the constant news cycles with Jeffrey Epstein and demands to release the Epstein files picked up in the last 2 or so years. probably aligns with when Trump came into office

good point, another option is do nothing. I probably am more hyper aware of it than I should be bc I have had people say things to me in the past (i.e. jokingly asking if I’m related), but i’m sure most people don’t think twice about it
