lyndopo

Sooooo I've decided to drop my last name and just take DH! I was gonna hyphenate since both of our names are pretty short, but SOME old knotties called me lammmme.... whatever. Anyways!!!

What do you plan on doing and what will your new last name be?

LOL! But that just shows how much you love him, to take all of him, including his crazy, hard-to-pronounce -or-even-spell, last name! :)<div>

Yes, that is really his LAST name, not his first name. Lol It's Italian. ;)</div></div>

I'm taking FI's last name. I think it will hurt him if I don't, he's really excited about that part. I was all for doing it when I first got engaged but I dk I'll feel like some sort of identity crisis... I guess I'll get use to it, plus they already made me a stamp at work for it lol

cmp1986

I am taking my FI last name. I'm very old fashion when it comes to taking your husbands last name. I will be Christina Yerian, nice strong German name LOL. I love my madien name but I'm ready for a fresh start. I'm just glad his last name isn't weiner or something horrible like that.

BlueEyedBrideFL

I will be taking FI's last name.

I asked him about it once, if he wanted me to take his last name.  His response was "Well, I'm not taking yours."

But I'm fine with his... I will be Jessica Lawrence.

twinkle82576

I'm also dropping mine completely and taking his... Soegaard (pronounced Swaguard).

herculeschloe

I am taking the plunge and going with his last name...and accepting the fact that my name will probably NEVER fit on anything (like business cards) again! Desiree Papadimitriou... yep, he's a greek alright!

mrsmustard12

I'll be taking FI's as well.  It seemed like it was important to him that we have the same last name.  So I will now be a Digeon (pronouced Dijon - like the mustard)

Jessica & Mark Andrew

Lyndopo, I am with ya! I'm going to have a hyphenated name. I can't just let go of my maiden name. LOL

 My new name will be Jessica Jimenez-Khawand. Fiance is  Lebanese.

waterroxy17

I havent decided yet. It's such a hard decision for me. I will either take his or hyphen
Beth Lindsey-Calay or just Beth Calay

Krysta6

I'm the oddball. For a little bit I am going to keep my own last name. Eventually I will take his but I just don't feel comfortable changing everything at once. I don't know if I'm going to hyphen or fully take it yet. 

ARose29.defunct635760306938291358

For professional reasons, I can't change my name right away.  But when it is changed (I caved in after I wanted to keep mine), I think it sounds like a venereal disease.

katje13

Professionally, I am keeping my maiden name.  Outside work, I am using his last name with my maiden name as my middle name, if that makes sense.

sadou02

Ill be taking his last name.  As a kid I used to hate being at the bottom of the alphabet list when it came to getting my name called (letter O) so I always like dating people who were higher up in the alphabet list.  So I will be Sandra Larocque (French).  Love my maiden name but I love FI more.

lyndopo

Angel.. OMG I just looked up his name! That's hysterical!!

ARose29.defunct635760306938291358

Lynette:  My brother and sister are nurses, so they like to joke that I will soon be known as "the inflammation of the vala".  It just sounds awful.

brooklyngurl81

I'm taking FI last name which is Lord.

lgrn22

Taking his.. Laura Barrett.. sounds so cute! lol

RU3234

I happily took my DH's. Being a Brown myehole life I was happy to have something different. When I went to change my name, I accidentally dropped my middle name....OOPS!

florquevedo

I took DH's last name, he was super excited about this (my dad wasn't though   )
at first I took it very lightly and was super excited but then once I did it I was so weirded out, I still pause before saying my last name because my brain says Quevedo but my reality says Martinez!!!
LOL

BUT when I went to the Argentinean Cosulate last week I tried to change my last name and they said I couldn't, you can only hyphenate it! So I get to have my cake and eat it too...thanks Argentina!!!! hehe

ANGEL: LOL

HappyBride7

Im taking fi's last name. I will be Leslee Zelaya!!

EvelynandManny

ok ever since i was a little girl i wanted to change it,..and since fi really wants me to do it I will....however i must admit now that im starring down the barrel and its getting close to me actually doing it... it feels kinda of wierd... LOL.. im glad im not the only one that thinks this way!

LindsA90410

I will be taking his name! And my new last name will be Dull.

shoegirl00

I am taking his which is fine with me but i have a problem when i pronounce the letter F so .... its gonna be a pain to spell it out to people when they say "how do you spell that"

I will be Alex Foltz but trust me girl i am in no hurry to change my maiden name at all. i will hold on to it as long as i can. (i give it 2 months)

dewreb

I'm keeping mine. It's normal where I come from to not change your last name (well, either one is normal where I come from, changing, or not). I tried to think of a reason to change it to his, but the only reason that I could come up with was to make him happy, meanwhile there were at least 20 reasons not to. So, I will remain as I am!

anaroo87

I will be taking his last name too ... Davidoff... blah... my last name is ridiculous and is ALWAYS mispronounced but I've gotten used to it over my life and everyone always recognizes it. I don't want to drop it, but FI will be upset. For a while I was trying to figure out how I could scam him into combining mine and his into a whole new last name... but he's the only boy in his family and therefore the last Davidoff... I just can't do that to him. I might hyphenate... at least for a while until I get used to it lol

XxMari518xX

I'm taking my FI ... to become the most generic name everrrrr ...... Suarez
