I currently have a Gmail account that is associated with many other Google products such as Google+ and YouTube. My email address currently contains my last name and as I am not getting married I want to change it to reflect my new name.
From another question posted on this forum I understand that you can forward your emails from your old account to your new one and can export/import contacts and filters from the previous account. What I am concerned with is having my Google+ and YouTube account connected to my new email address and being able to use the new address to log in to any Google products. In addition I use OpenId on several third party websites (like here!) and I want those sites to still be able to log me in.
Just to be clear I haven't created a new email account yet.

According to Google, you can sign in with multiple Gmail accounts using the multiple sign in feature. This feature has been around since 2010.
You should be able to use your old account to maintain your Google+ and Youtube accounts, while using a new gmail email address if desired. Hope this helps!
