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
