   Hello knotties, I had my name changed because the other one - Leslysblanc - I used when I first came here 4 years ago and everything had changed ever since. Same bride, different name! Talking about names, how many of you will change your names after getting married? I am so undecided about it...I mean, I am so used to my…

   I understand your point Melissa, I was married twice before and changed my name as well, but now, after so long, I really don't feel inclined to do it. Maybe I hyphenate like nmauser82 suggested,but it's not easy to change a name in three different countries in all documents, and I really want to keep the same name…

   I will be changing my name as well, and I did so with my first marriage, but actually the first time around I really only changed it on the easiest stuff. My passport and other forms of ID were still in my maiden name - guess I knew it wasn't going to last. My own mother never even changed my name in her contacts because…

   My last name is my dad's and none of my kids have it, so I may keep it as a remembrance of my deceased dad. I'm with you on this one, I'm keeping my name.

   I've changed it every time and see no need to not do it this time. I have no real affection for a last name, anyway, so one is as good as another. Plus, I like us having the same last name. I want us to be seen as a set, even when only viewing our names on paper!

   I am keeping my maiden name. He wants me to take his name so I may hyphenate it to make him happy but I am definintely not dropping my own name. Been there, done that and I went through a lot of hassel changing it back after my divorce. I am not willing to give it up again. Either way I will difinitely hyphenate it…

   As far as I'm concerned, if you don't get to tell him what his name should be after the wedding, he doesn't get to tell you what yours should be. I have kept the same name for 56 years now, in spite of two marriages, and cannot imagine trying to change it.

   I'm changing mine since it is from my previous marriage. It is going to be a hassle, but I'm kind of old fashioned and like the thought of having the same last name as my husband.
