   I am taking FI's name. My last name has no meaning for me, plus my dad was adopted, so it technically isn't really a family name. I have been a Realtor for 5 years, so I hesitated on whether I should change, not change or hyphenate. Ultimately I decided to change, because it means so much to FI and I can make sure all of…

   I still haven't decided. My last name has heritage and character, and my Fiance's last name is boring (shh... don't tell him I said that).There's some other post a while back with this question and some girls mentioned changing there last name but then adding there maiden name as there middle name... I'll possibly do that.

   I will be since I use my ex's name now, it would be weird to get married and change to my maiden name. I knwo that would hurt FI's feelings. If I had not changed to ex's (did it becuase of my son) then I would have kept my maiden name as you are suggesting.

Before kids, I will probably legally take FI's last name, but continue to use my maiden name…

   I agree to do what's right for you. I'm changing mine. I can't imagine not changing mine though. We have a child together and I've been called by his last name for years by Dr's offices and such because our son has the same last name as his father. But I want for my family to have the same last name and not just have me be…

   For professional purposes as well as the fact that I dig my last name and I want to honor my dad, i'll be moving my maiden name to my middle name. I was: Cristina Leigh Fakename Now I'll be: Cristina Fakename FI'sName This way I can do all the changing at once, it will be done for when we have kids, but I can still go by…
