I would like to use my maiden name again. And be just Aleta Pavia. It kind of rhymes. So what do you do will all the legal things like the bank and IRS? If I don’t go back to my maiden name it would be Aleta Jacobson. I sign my work, A. Jacobson. My web site is aletajacobson511art.com, my studio name is Aleta Jacobson 511 Art Studio.
What to do??

Not changing back to my maiden name now – hated it growing up, still hate it. Have had many galleries/exhibitions tell me they are glad my name is short and easy to remember. Isn’t being memorable to potential clients more the point than personal vanity?

Nope. No one can pronounce it either. VERY distinctive, but lots of issues with length as well. When I was 13 I assumed I was going to get married and thought I HAD to change my name, so I decided that I would change to a nickname – “Keena” (a contraction of Christine – you pronounce the “e”) so that when I got famous I wouldn’t have to worry. Hee hee! Got the name – now just working on the fame 😉

Tracy: You alphabetize under the last name in the list of names (married name) UNLESS it’s hyphenated. Then, under the first name in the hyphenation. So, my friend Rachelle Disbennett-Lee would be under the “D”s. If there was no hyphen, we’d put her under the “L”s.

(Though sometimes I sign work as TLW and sometimes with my name) Liza brings up a good question that I have come across when adding names to my patron list. If someone uses maiden and married, do you alphabetize them under the middle maiden or the ending married? Or, do you put both words under the last name category?

(in the early 70’s) The good news about that was that I always kept my maiden name and it was easy to drop the married name when I dropped the ex-husband. The complicated part of it was that when my work was listed in shows and catalogues no one knew whether to put it under the first or last name of the hyphenated duo. I have chosen to stick with my name ever since.

I’ve never understood why people feel free to change my name when I’ve clearly written or typed it the way I want it shown. I used to hypenate my name, which caused its own challenges, but decided against it when I remarried 7 years ago. I will be changing my company name to some combination of my three names and “Studio” (I think–still deciding!), and I’m sure it will mangled, deleted or changed in ways I can’t even imagine now.
