Use of nee Dick Kia ora thanks for the tidy up on this article I m curious about the use of nee here this is used to indicate the maiden name of a married woman any dictionary will give this definition and it doesn t seem the correct use of the word here as Moncrieff didn t change her name from Dick to Moncrieff on marriage and she s not currently married Is there a WP policy on this type of situation or a precedent for other women who have changed their names from their birth names to something else but not as a result of marriage Thanks
