This stands in contrast to a Get where both spouses' official and nicknames are specified. This is largely because unlike Gittin, last names are written in Ketubot, making it possible to easily identify the various parties without using nicknames. Nonetheless, if it there is a doubt as to which name to put on the Ketubah (the original or nickname), some suggest mentioning the nickname either in parenthesis (as is the opinion of Rav Elyashiv), or within in the text in the following format (Igros Moshe, Even HaEzer 4:102): | This stands in contrast to a Get where both spouses' official and nicknames are specified.

#Aside from the first and last mentioning of the Chatan/Kallah's name, (e.g. Reuven Yaakov ben Shimon L'Mishpachat Goldberg"), in the other places in the middle of the ketubah where either of their names is required, only the Chatan/Kallah's full first name is used (e.g. Reuven Yaakov). | |||
#If the Chatan is a Kohen or a Levi, at the first and last mentioning of his name, the title should be added after writing in his father's name (e.g. Reuven Yaakov ben Shimon HaKohen). In the other locations, it should be mentioned after his first name (e.g. Reuven Yaakov HaKohen) <ref>Rav Moshe Feinstein (Igrot Moshe Even HaEzer 3:26) discussed a question where the father of a Kallah claimed at the time of the wedding that he was a Levi, but upon further research, discovered that his Levi status was actually more questionable that initially thought. Rav Moshe ruled that if it turns out that the father was indeed not a Levi, the Ketubah is still kosher M'ikkar HaDin, but it is recommended that a new ketubah be written and signed. </ref><ref>If the Chatan is a Chalal (the son of a Kohen who married a woman that was halachically prohibited for him to marry (e.g. a divorcee)), some of have the practice to write Reuven Shimon HaChalal ben Shimon HaKohen, or to just leave out the Kohen title entirely (e.g. "Reuven Yaakov" with no title at all.</ref> | |||
