Re: New name?! Not a Q!

if i didn't like it i couldn't do it either. i like names & i'm really picky about them to begin with so i think that's perfectly valid to not want to change it because you don't like how it sounds. i would like to have the same last name as my fiance as well but if it was either keep mine which i like too, or change it to…

I love my maiden name, but I also love my husband's last name. I really didn't feel strongly about keeping my maiden name, so I changed it. And apparently it's a very strong Danish name (or so everyone upon hearing it tells me). My only hang up is mine and my husband's first names both begin with S, and so does our last…

I had always planned on taking the name of whoever I married until my son was born, his father and I both wanted his last name to be our last name so we hyphenated it with my last name first and then his. Now we're getting married and he's still really attached to his last name but I prefer our son's last name. We haven't…

I didn't take my first husband's name, because I didn't like his Dad, and that was his name. I have a fine, sturdy, easy to spell name that I'd be happy to keep, but...I love FI's last name. He has this awesome Belarusian name that sounds great with my first name. So, although I said I'd never change my name, I am. Never…

Just thought I'd chime in as a child whose mother didn't change her name. My mother is still Ellen R. She never became Ms. Ellen S. nor did my father mind. When my brother was born they decided to give all of us my mother's name as our middle name and my father's name as our last name so we're all Firstname R. S. because…

I'm also struggling with this! FI definitely wants me to take his name. It's a little boring, and with my first name it makes me sound like some kind of cartoon superhero (same first letter...just trust me). Does/ has anyone just taken the married name socially and kept maiden name legally? Does this work? I really don't…

I have been making fun of my FH name since i met him there are just so many ways to make fun of him his name is MORIN so I call him Moron or as my little brother does More In ?? i would hyphenate our names but mine is Tales. put your tail more in.... i have tried my hardest to get him to take mine but he wont even discuss…

I'm keeping my last name too. I brought FI changing his to mine up to him and he considered it, but neither of us feel all that passionately about having the same last name. If you don't want to change your last name, then don't. Honestly, people will still call you Mrs. FisLastName whether you like it or not, it's kind of…

I'm struggling with this too! FI wants to carry on his name with our future children since it's unlikely (thank God) that his brother will ever have kids. My last name is important to me because I already had it changed once when my stepdad adopted me. I wanted this last name for so long, and now it feels kinda wrong to…

Ah, I love my name change! I'll tell you my names since they're so awesome (and common). My name now: Bell Married name will be: Belling Yep, I'll be adding a -ing. I thought it'd be fun to get it hyphenated Bell-ing haha.
