Are you changing your name?

Re: Are you changing your name?

yes i am changing my name to FH becuase he wanted that way, and it tradition that i should take it

Re: Are you changing your name?

I must have said this a million times as I was planning my wedding. I am changing my name without hesitation. I am forever my parents' child and nothing will ever change that, not even a new last name. I am just as much of a legacy to my father as my brother is even if my name is not the same. My father, may he rest in peace, would have thought it strange if I did not take DH's name. He would have asked 'What do you mean you aren't changing your name?' As someone who married later in life, you would think I would be more attached to my maiden name - I am not. Believe me, my married name is a phonetic nightmare that people butcher on a daily basis, but I took it proudly.

Re: Are you changing your name?

I did not and will not change my name. I no longer get upset when people call me Mrs. H*** but I will always be Ms. L****. Dh knew this from the beginning so there really was nothing he could say about it. Only my mother and sister had a problem and quite frankly I don't give a sh!t what they think . The kids will be hyphenated and the hyphenated name will be shorter then the last names of my Italian friends.

Re: Are you changing your name?

I am!! my current last name is ALWAYS getting spelled wrong and pronounced wrong. im soo sick of it, and ready to be a VERY simple 'Mrs. Murphy' ahhh, the relief i will feel.

Re: Are you changing your name?

I'm changing my name to FH's last name....just because I want to be Mrs Mayo! I love FH's last name!

Re: Are you changing your name?

I wouldn't call myself a traditionalist but as some girls said, I always imagined changing my name when I got married.

This will be my third name change My step-father (whom i consider my father) adopted my sister and I when we were young.

I'm going to start the process but won't actually be changing anything until after we go on our honeymoon which won't be for 2 months after the wedding. I need to keep everything since my passport has my last name and I could have some problems if I change over too soon.

Re: Are you changing your name?

i am going to change

Re: Are you changing your name?

Re: Are you changing your name?

I think I'm going to use both last names, not hyphenated.

Re: Are you changing your name?

I will be hyphenating my last name and his. I really didn't want to give up my last name, but he really wanted me to take his, so this was my way of compromising.

Re: Are you changing your name?

I cant wait until my last name is gone...i dont even know my real father and he had nerve to not allow my mother to change my name when she married my stepfather...ugh cant wait...

Re: Are you changing your name?

I hyphenated my name- For me, that was the best decision- socially most people refer to me as Dhs last name-which is fine, but I didn't want to give up my last name altogether
