To me using Mrs. and husbands first name seems outdated....

Whats strange to me is would that be acceptable from a legal standpoint.... What if God forbid he passed away and her full name wasn't on the Bank Account, she was listed soley as Mrs. So&SO.  It was strange the bank didnt make each of  them show their first names on the checks.....

I haven't run into "Mrs. Richard Doe" for decades, other than the occasional wedding invite addressed to "Mr. and Mrs. Richard Doe".   It is so old fashioned!

Who signs their name using Mr. or Mrs. or even Dr.?  Most people sign their name and put their degrees at the end, if they feel the need to use them.  But Mr. or Mrs.?  I've never seen a signature written with either of those.

really did not use the term MRS.

always sign my name first name, last name that i was born with.

never took my husbands last name.

sometimes i will include my middle initial.

It depends on what I am signing or have my name on.

Legal papers I sign with my first name, middle initial,maiden last name and married last name.

On bank checks I have only printed my first name initial, my middle initial, my maiden last name initial  and married name and sign the checks the same way.

On credit cards I usually have only my first name initial and last name.

License first and last name.

Do not use Mr. or Mrs.

I've signed things Mr. and Mrs. His Name at times.  (Funeral guest book, bed and breakfast, flowers for his employees, etc.)

Have some address labels made up that way, too.  Not all, but some.

Love my name, love his name.  Don't give a sheet what anyone else thinks.

That's so weird you didn't know her first name for a long time. 

Didn't you or she introduce yourself when you first met?  I always introduce myself (first name and sometimes first and last name--depends).

So you had actually made a monetary transaction with someone and didn't know her first name?  

And any and all other times you saw her--never thought to introduce yourself?

Weird.

First name, middle initial, last name - DH deceased - had my name legally changed back to maiden name.  

I never identified myself as "Mrs. John Doe."  I was simply Mary Doe.

Never changed my name when I married 41 years ago on September 15th.  Never refer to myself as Mrs.

I've been married for 43 years and have never used Mrs or Ms on anything. I don't want to be referred to as Mrs either and I know if someone calls me by Mrs they don't know me. I also will not use my maiden name as my middle name. I hate my maiden name. It's just a horrible name subject to lots of teasing when I was a kid so I was glad to get married to someone with a normal last name.
