Se’if 1א׳

כּוֹתְבִין שֵׁם הָאִישׁ וְהָאִשָּׁה, בַּגֵּט. וְאִם יֵשׁ לְאֶחָד מֵהֶם שְׁנֵי שֵׁמוֹת, כּוֹתְבִין שֵׁם שֶׁהֵם רְגִילִים בּוֹ וְיוֹדְעִים בּוֹ בְּיוֹתֵר, וְכוֹתְבִים: אִישׁ פְּלוֹנִי וְכָל שֵׁם שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ גֵּרַשׁ אִשָּׁה פְּלוֹנִית וְכָל שֵׁם שֶׁיֵּשׁ לָהּ; וְאִם כָּתַב חֲנִיכָתוֹ וַחֲנִיכָתָהּ, כָּשֵׁר. הַגָּה: וְכָל שֶׁכֵּן אִם כָּתַב עִקַּר הַשֵּׁם לְבַד, דְּכָשֵׁר, וְלָכֵן אֵין לְהַקְפִּיד עַל הַכִּנּוּיִים כָּל כָּךְ. וְיֵשׁ אוֹמְרִים דְּאֵין לִכְתֹּב כָּל שׁוּם שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ, אֶלָּא אִם יֵשׁ לוֹ שְׁנֵי שֵׁמוֹת יִכְתֹּב: פְּלוֹנִי דְּמִתְקְרֵי פְּלוֹנִי (רַבֵּנוּ תָּם וּבֵית יוֹסֵף בְּשֵׁם הָרַמְבַּ"ן וְהָרַשְׁבָּ"א), וְכֵן נוֹהֲגִין, וְאֵין לְשַׁנּוֹת. וַאֲפִלּוּ נִכְתַּב הַגֵּט אֵין לְגָרֵשׁ בּוֹ, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁכָּתַב: כָּל שֵׁם, עַד שֶׁיִּכְתֹּב שְׁנֵי הַשֵּׁמוֹת (בְּקוּנְטְרֵס). לֹא כָּתַב אֶלָּא שֵׁם הָאֶחָד, אֲפִלּוּ הוּא שֵׁם הַטָּפֵל, וְגֵרַשׁ בּוֹ, כָּשֵׁר (טוּר):

They write the name of the man and the woman on the get (that is, the divorce document). If one of them has two names, then they write the name by which they are usually called and is most well known, and they write: man so-and-so, and all names that he has, divorced woman so-and-so and all names that she has. And, if [the scribe] wrote his or her surname, then [the get] is valid. Rem"a: And all the more so if he only wrote the main name, it is valid, and therefore one need not be precise for all the nicknames. And there are those that say not to write all the names that a person is called. Rather, if he has two names, then a person should write: so-and-so that is called such-and-such (Rabbeinu Tam, and the Beit Yosef in the name of the Ramba"n and the Rashb"a), and such is the practice and one should not change this. And even if [such] a get was written [i.e., without indicating the names], one should not divorce with it, even though it says: "every name [that this person has]" until [the scribe] writes both names (Kuntres). If [the scribe] only wrote one name, even if it is a secondary name, and [the husband] divorced with it, it is valid (Tur).

Se’if 2ב׳

כָּתַב הַשֵּׁם שֶׁאֵינָם יְדוּעִים בּוֹ בְּיוֹתֵר, וְכָתַב: כָּל שֵׁם שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ, הֲרֵי זֶה פָּסוּל; אֲבָל אִם הַשְּׁנֵי שֵׁמוֹת כְּתוּבִים בְּפֵרוּשׁ בַּגֵּט, אֵין הֶפְרֵשׁ בֵּין שֶׁכּוֹתֵב זֶה רִאשׁוֹן אוֹ זֶה:

If [the scribe] wrote the name that is not most well known, and he wrote: "[and] any other name that he has," [the get] is invalid. However, if both names are written explicitly in the get, there is no difference if one is written before the other.

Se’if 3ג׳

שִׁנָּה שְׁמוֹ אוֹ שְׁמָהּ, אוֹ שֵׁם עִירוֹ אוֹ שֵׁם עִירָהּ, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁכָּתַב: כָּל שֵׁם שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ וְכָל שֵׁם שֶׁיֵּשׁ לָהּ, אֵינוֹ גֵּט:

If [the scribe] changed his or her name, or the name of his or her city, even if he wrote: "[and] any name that he has," or, "[and] any name that she has," it is not a valid get.

Se’if 4ד׳

אִם עוֹמֵד בְּמָקוֹם אֶחָד וְשׁוֹלֵחַ הַגֵּט לְמָקוֹם אַחֵר, וּבְכָל מָקוֹם מֵהֶם יֵשׁ לוֹ שֵׁם אַחֵר, כּוֹתֵב שֵׁם מְקוֹם הַנְּתִינָה, וְיִכְתֹּב שֵׁם מְקוֹם הַכְּתִיבָה: "דְּמִתְקְרֵי"; וְאִם כָּתַב שֵׁם מְקוֹם הַנְּתִינָה, וְכוֹלֵל שֵׁם מְקוֹם הַכְּתִיבָה בְּ"וְכָל שׁוּם", כָּשֵׁר. הַגָּה: אֲבָל אִם עָשָׂה שֵׁם מְקוֹם הַכְּתִיבָה עִקָּר וְכָתַב עַל שֵׁם מְקוֹם הַנְּתִינָה "דְּמִתְקְרֵי" אוֹ "כָּל שׁוּם", פָּסוּל (הַב"י כָּתַב שֶׁכֵּן מַשְׁמָע מִלְּשׁוֹן הַטּוּר):

If [the husband] is in one place, and [the husband] sends the get to [be delivered in] another place, and in each of these places he has a different name, [the scribe] writes [in the get] the name [that the husband has] where the get is being delivered, and [the scribe] writes the name [that the husband has] in the location that [the get] is being written [also in the get, but with the prefix]: "who is [also] called..."; And if [the scribe] writes [in the get] the name [that the husband has] where the get is being delivered and then includes the name [that the husband has] in the location that [the get] is being written, with [the following expression beforehand:] "And any [other] name [that he has]," [the get] is valid. Rem"a: However, if [the scribe] makes the name [that the husband has] in the location that [the get] is being written, the main [name], and [the scribe] writes the name [that the husband has] in the location that [the get] is being delivered [also in the get, but with the prefix]: "who is [also] called..."; or [with the expression:] "and any [other name that he has]," [the get] is invalid. (The Beit Yosef wrote that this is implied from the language of the Tur)

Se’if 5ה׳

מוּמָר, אֵין לוֹ לְגָרֵשׁ בְּשֵׁם עכו"ם, אֶלָּא בְּשֵׁם יִשְׂרָאֵל. וְאִם כָּתַב שֵׁם עכו"ם עִקָּר וְשֵׁם יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּלְשׁוֹן "דְּמִתְקְרֵי", כָּשֵׁר. הַגָּה: וּלְכַתְּחִלָּה כּוֹתְבִין שֵׁם יִשְׂרָאֵל "וְכָל שׁוּם וַחֲנִיכָה דְּאִית לֵהּ" (סְמַ"ג וּסְמַ"ק וְכָל בּוֹ וּת"ה סִימָן רל"ה). וְאִם כָּתַב שֵׁם שֶׁל עכו"ם, וְכָּתְבוּ: כָּל שׁוּם וַחֲנִיכָה דְּאִית לֵהּ, פָּסוּל (רִיבָ"שׁ סִימָן מ"ג וְטוּר). הָיָה לוֹ שֵׁם כִּנּוּי כְּשֶׁהָיָה יְהוּדִי, כּוֹתְבִין לוֹ שֵׁם יִשְׂרָאֵל הַמְכֻנֶּה פְּלוֹנִי וְכָל שׁוּם וַחֲנִיכָה דְּאִית לֵהּ (סֵדֶר הַגִּטִּין):

An apostate should not divorce with his secular (lit. idol-worshipping name) but rather with his Jewish name. If he wrote the secular name as the primary name, and then prefaced the Jewish name by the term "who is also called," the get is kosher. Rama: It is preferable to write the Jewish name "and any name and surname which he has" (Semag, Semak, Kol Bo, and Terumat haDeshen chapter 235). If he wrote the secular name and added "and any name and surname which he has, " the get is invalid (Rivash, chapter 43, and Tur). If he had a nickname while still Jewish, we write the Jewish name and add "who is nicknamed so-and-so, and any name and surname he has" (Seder Gittin).
