We hope you will say "no," or "put in a 667 to recheck
at next occurrence, but we think you won't. Are we right?
Do we have to change the heading?
A. Right, I won't. That's a name change, not a difference
in fullness, and you need to change the heading. Happens a
lot
when women marry, hyphenate then divorce and de-hyphenate.
Only exceptions I'd make would be a case where various forms
are used in same publ., or form in publs. goes back and forth "regularly."
Q. Just a follow-up: Since the single surname retained
in the second instance was the (presumed) married name, it seems
as if the woman has not divorced or remarried
(yet). That's our problem. We can't decide if the "form
in publs. goes back and forth 'regularly'" until
we have more than two instances, so we're reluctant
to change the heading at the second instance. But
we have to?
A. Yes.
