What’s in a name? William Shakespeare’s Juliet asked that timeless question more than four centuries ago, sparking the debate of whether a name itself is truly significant.

As Juliet later discovered, there’s a LOT in a name…and the reasons Americans change our names are as diverse as our country itself…marriage, divorce, adoption, blending or hyphenating names, immigration or simply the desire for a moniker that seems to fit better.

And if you’re an employer…a name change definitely matters to you.
