He uses my surname online so as not to create confusion :-)

Oops, that's an awkward situation! Couldn't you have kept your maiden name? It is done a lot now here in England, but not when I married in 1984.
It's all water under the bridge now anyway. Maybe your husband could become an Oliver too?

In England, for English things, like NHS, library and council elections, I am only known as Mrs. Y. They'd panic if I started to use my own name. I never bothered to change it, but as I kept my Dutch nationality, I have no problems with it and happily use both names.
Our postman has got used to both names, so everything is fine!
