Just first name and you find thousands of them, with majority of them without even a profile pic. And surname, you don't happen to know! <br /><br />My surname has changed too. A lot of my friends managed to find me bcoz of my profile pic (they tell me I look the same!).RGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15279590663523317849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676605.post-57854307474274254802010-06-19T19:56:02.344+05:302010-06-19T19:56:02.344+05:30Yeah! you are right, ll keep this in mind:)Yeah! you are right, ll keep this in mind:)anatreekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02367170278723400088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676605.post-55723435069259201632010-06-19T14:43:53.028+05:302010-06-19T14:43:53.028+05:30thanks guys for the comments. true, some of the pe...thanks guys for the comments. true, some of the people i know are also not changing their surnames!annucool15https://www.blogger.com/profile/15277364271322867834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676605.post-53463836458115388232010-06-19T14:29:47.372+05:302010-06-19T14:29:47.372+05:30Point Taken!!

I know one Sindhi community in which this is prevalent. A Deepa Gehi becomes Disha Kanar, a Reena Mehta becomes Aashna Sapru and a Darshana Dudeja becomes Dimple Chhoda!!!<br /><br />Am not kidding... These are real women... They each have facebook profiles. Luckily, I could track them because they have included all their names on FB.

It is difficult to find someone in facebook when they change their last name.<br /><br />In USA, girls (women) follow 3 paths after marriage. 1. Do not change their last name. 2. Keep their maiden name as their middle name (as you have done). 3. Have a hyphenated last name (Anuradha Khanna-Pentapalli.<br /><br />I think if everyone uses the 3rd method, it would be easy to locate them in facebook.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.com
