Changing last name?

Original post by Jess2

I am positive this has been posted before, but I'm too lazy to do a search so I'm posting it again! Are you changing your last name to your FH's? Are you adding it so that your current last name will become your middle name? I always thought I'd just change it and say goodbye to my current last name, but now I'm not sure if I should have both names.

Yep. Changing the name. His last name is Polish and mine is a very nice Italian name (always get compliments on it).

EVERYTHIME my father sees or hears his names he laughs and says - We have such a nice name, can't you get him to change HIS name??????

Is it true that if you hyphenate you can legally go by either/or? b/c that's what I really want to do...

BIG BIG decision here. I do like being Jennifer Lopez (J.LO) But since it is a tradition and usual important to the men to take their last name, I will probably be Jennifer Phillips

I am changing to his even though I don't like the way his last name sounds with my first name. People usually think it's funny when they find out what my married name will be because it sounds silly.

I want to make my last name my middle name and use his name as my last name.

Still undecided - definetley taking his name but don't know about the whole Middle name my old last name thing - he WANTS me to get it as a middle name! He is like you sould hyphenate it - that would make it 24 letters plus a hyphen =) Just to tick people off

Re: Changing last name?

I dont want to change my last name b/c I like mine and have had it all my life. I am not to crazy about his. People cant say it or spell it. But I guess I will be changing it.

Re: Changing last name?

Completely changing mine!! My current last name has absolutely nothing to do with me so it really won't effect me

Re: Changing last name?

I'm not changing mine. I really like my last name - it's Irish, I love Irish names. Plus there aren't too many people with my last name anymore, he's got a whole heck of a lot with his long, hard to say, hard to spell Polish last name. And I want our kids to have my last name as their middle name. Actually, I'd love for them to have my last name, but somehow I don't think that'll go over so well.....

Re: Changing last name?

I have a son from a previous marriage, so I'll be hyphenating the last names.

Re: Changing last name?

I am def. taking his last name. I am considering making my last name my middle name, but I really dont like the way it sounds. The names sound funny together to me.

Re: Changing last name?

I'm hyphenating. I'm using his last name socially and mine professionally. And in all other legal documents, I'll use both.

Re: Changing last name?

Same as cutsabutton. Still trying to convince FH of it though. He would love for me to just completely change to his name.
