The only worry which I have about this, is my own security,  because  my middle name is my mothers  Maiden name.         I do not  like it when a security question is "What is your mothers maiden name?"

There is no need to use your mother's maiden name, do as I do, use a different name that you will always remember.
One of my. Grandmothers had the same maiden name  as her married name

So did my gran,as she married her first cousin,their dad's were brothers,the nearest 2 in age.

Hi, my parents both had the same surname when they married so my mum never had to change hers!  I've adopted a surname from someone in the family who I quite liked, after all, those asking the security questions have absolutely no idea whether you've given the correct name or just plucked one out of the ether!
