   The way I'm mentally preparing myself to change my name is this: my parent's didn't GIVE me my last name. That's just what came with. They gave me my first and middle names, which aren't changing. Hopefully if I think this way for the next 6 months I won't be as sad to change it.

   I know this is random but I would like some outside opinions. H and I got married last summer and I'm still undecided on what to do with my last name.

I did move my maiden name to my middle…

   My last name is short, somewhat common, and easy to spell and pronounce. FI's last name is none of those things. I always figured I'd keep my name. However, our daughter has his last name and it's SUCH a PITA that I can't wait to change my name. Whatever you decide, I think you should do the same for legal and social…

   I was screwed up as a kid. I didn't have the same last name as either of my parents. I had my grandparents last name because I lived with them and it was always easier on official paperwork. I always swore I would never that than to my children so I changed my name to DH's 10 days after the wedding. But I'll admit I'm…
