Re: Name Change

Reply by brookelynpaisley · August 2010 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Snarky Brides

I took my maiden name as my middle name. My given middle name was my mom's maiden name and I honestly hated it. It wasn't pretty and I got teased early in life when kids found out what it was. All my life I wanted to change it to something that complimented my FN. However, when it came down to it, I didn't want to go…

** Heads up to those that want to make their maiden name their middle name, you can't do it in some states (CA, NJ, NY, OH, PA, WA - http://www.missnowmrs.com/Blog/index.php/2010/07/maiden-to-middle-name-change.html), well at least not easily. When you get married you get a "freebie" name change, but otherwise you have to…

I'm changing mine, it means a lot to us to have the same last name and changing his was not a practical option. I like it, saying the new name is exciting, also using it will be a big thrill for a while at least. I am keeping my name, as a second middle name. I know it will probably never be used but that way it will still…

NY gave us the option of having the H change his name, the wife change hers, or both change to a name that's created out of a combination of the 2 original names. When H found out he pushed really hard to take my name but that weirded me out a bit because I'm more traditional.

I haven't read all the responses, but I'm not changing my name. My parents gave me a name when I was born and that is my name for life. I am more than willing to use his name socially, however. He's my husband and I would never correct someone who calls me "Mrs. HisLastName" because that is definitely part of who I am.…

Discussion by LoriAH11 · August 2010 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Snarky Brides

Good morning! For some reason all morning my name change has been on my mind. I don't know why, the wedding isn't until June of next year so I have plenty of time to make a decision. However, it has been a nagging though all freaking morning. I just wanted to some feed back from people who took the last name all together…

I kept my maiden name. I am the last person in my family to have the name so I just couldn't give it up. My husband's last name is so common and it has actually caused some problems and confusion for him (ex: he almost didn't get a job because someone with his same name, living in the same town, was a defendant in an arson…

I'm adding FI's last name as my second last name, and he's adding my last name as his second middle name. So, before the wedding, we were: Jane Fonda Smith John Tom Anderson We'll then be: Jane Fonda Smith Anderson John Tom Smith Anderson We'll go socially as "The Smith Anderson Family," I'll go as Jane Smith Anderson…

I am taking his last name and keeping my middle name.. I don't really feel the need to keep my maiden name in there because this is my second marriage and I've already dropped my maiden name.. I want to get totally rid of my ex's last name though (I never legally changed it back, so thats what I'm currently using) Might as…

I dropped my maiden name entirely and changed my last name to his, even though there is no one in the family to carry on our last name (all girls, no cousins with the same last name). I was raised to do this, I'm pretty old-fashioned in that way. in fact, it wasn't until I met my MIL that I found out that people sometimes…
