I have observed on many occasions where people fill in different things (names) in the column for mothers' maiden names both in the executive and academic environment.

Mothers' maiden name is usually required when filling forms that require your personal details

I have been using my mother's surname before marriage as her maiden name but i have seen some others use the following...............

Mother's second name.....mostly her native name
Mothers full name
Mothers full name using husbands surname
Mother's English name

I need someone to help out as google self compounded my problem by giving me conflicting results.

Mum's last name

I use anyone i remember provided is her name

According to Mr Google:

The definition of a maiden name is the surname or birth name a woman has before she marries and takes her husband's last name. An example of maiden name is Jones for a woman who was named Sarah Jones before she married and became Sarah Stein.

Mother's name before she got married i.e her name and her Dad's name
