Number 1 is correct aposhark. The complete name that will be shown on her passport will be:
First Name: ROSE LYN
Middle Name: SANTOS (the maiden name becomes the middle name once married)
Last Name: JONES (husband's surname)
NAMING STRUCTURE IN THE PHILIPPINES:
- The middle name of an individual is typically their mother’s maiden name. Their last name is the father’s surname.
- However, upon marriage, Filipinas take the surname of their husbands, and the surname of their father then moves left to become their middle name. Consequently, the mother’s maiden name is dropped altogether.
- It’s common for Filipinos to use middle initials when writing their names. ROSE LYN SANTOS JONES would thus be ROSE LYN S. JONES
- Many Filipinas also tie their new last names to their new middle names with hyphens. In which case ROSE LYN can write her name as ROSE LYN SANTOS-JONES
