So, yes-- I think AA was stupid to alienate a customer over this and it isn't unreasonable for the op to be annoyed.
Why is it now popular to class accurate responses to posts as being harsh?

I find it hard to believe that wanting to CHANGE the name on a booking is anything other than a CHANGE .

I also find it surprising that people would make a booking in a name other than the name which appears on the appropriate identification. The OP indicates that they do have identification in their maiden name so the issue seems to be a rant with no substance
