I've had my name changed on my Drivers' License, Banking Information, Credit Cards, Health Card and some other things for a little while now, but I just put the SIN card on the back burner for awhile, knowing that I would have to change it eventually for a new passport. It felt so cool to legally change my name to Alyssa Marie Pinsent. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but it is pretty awesome to officially have the same last name as my husband for work and employment purposes and on a new passport in a couple of months!
You can call me Mrs. Pinsent, Forever!

An officer I know in the UK married a woman from Norway. His last name was McLean, hers was Gillstrom, now they are both Gillstrom-McLean. That would be the only way I would change my name but most men still don't want to do it.
I wouldn't think that's true about your EI benefits, there's no legal requirement to change your name, in Quebec they don't and even an unmarried woman who has a child is entitled to those benefits.
