changing or keeping last name?

changing or keeping last name?

Is everyone taking FH's last name or keeping there's or both?

I'm getting very sad about having to lose my last name since i'm the last one

FH will be soo disappointed if i dont take his so i'm thining about hypening it but i dunno. Also, all my degrees will be in my last name.

whats everyone doing?

I'm taking his last name. I'm going from a complicated, people not being able to pronounce or spell last name, to a ordinary plain last name

im taking his last name, because 1. im way too traditional to do anything else 2. i really hate hyphenated last names...they weird me out, its like a pet peeve...

HOWEVER i hate the fact that im losing my last name....i have a big, vowel filled Italian last name that jus sounds so good with my first name!!! so going from a 4 syllable italian last name to a 1 syllable german last name is gonna be really friggen weird....

BUT i have no choice

edited for spelling

ya im an only child, so that made me kinda sad about the last name, but its jus funny cuz i think of hyphenated names, then, do u hyphenate the kids names? and if u do, does ur daughter grow up and wanna hyphenate that when she gets married??? and then one day down the line of ur future descendants someone will be like Jane Has-Too-Many-Last-Names

i get worried

Taking his last name.... and cant wait!!!!!!!

Re: changing or keeping last name?

Okay I'm just throwing my last name out there so you can really get the full effect. It is Bologna, the city in Italy. However no one ever understands that (except when I was actually in Italy) and has referred to it as the coldcut since I was in kindergarten always mispronouncing. I have been tortured 'My bologna has a first name it's J-E-N-N-A' 'I bet I know what your favorite coldcut is!!' lol and cannot wait to change it to FH's which is so simple and easy to pronounce hahaha

I've been waiting to change mine since I was a little. Everyone always ask me where I come from when I tell them my last name and it bothers me! oh and I hate having to spell it out for people too. Oh and Im moving from R to F so that is a plus!

Taking FH. I have a very hard to pronounce/spell last name. His is soo easy 4 letters. I always delt with the guilt of changing mine bc I am the last of my name too. Then my sister kept her name when she got married! So no more guilt for me Added bonus going from a V to a C!!


Also FH has his moms inital S and their last name tatooed on his arm in memory of her. So he will have my inital and name on him (although I would never take the credit for her memory) I do really like it!!

hahaha yes have to laugh it off lol

I'm taking his last name, but will keep my last name for work purposes...just too confusing for people to change it

Re: changing or keeping last name?

i like mine but im gonna take his. he also likes mine. he said he'd rather have my last name lol

Re: changing or keeping last name?

I have been planning to change mine to FHs, but lately have been getting sentimental and am thinking about hypenating. It would just be soooo long if I did

i'd be going from a nice simple name to a long complicated name....which is why i am torn!

and i also don't like hyphenating...esp bc my name would be ridiculously long if i did

i will probably end up taking the name...but its gonna bea REALLY hard to get used to
