changing your name?

changing your name?

I was just wondering how many of you ladies are changing your name. I know some people change it legally but keep their maiden name for business.

I don't plan on changing my name unless it becomes a hassle (like with banking or anything). My father comes from a long line of only child families (boys for the past 6 generations), and my sisters and I are the last with our name. I don't want to give it up, I want to keep it around as long as possible.

FH is pretty cool about it. His dad is an only child and Fh has no brothers, so he obviously wants to keep his family name going, and understands my desire to keep my family name.

What are you doing?

undecided....i always thought I would change it, but i don't really like FH's last name so i might keep my own...

...i feel like when we have children it will be easier if we have the same last name...but i like my name betttter

I can not wait to change it. It is sad that my last name will eventually die out in our family we have so many freckin girls but I really like his last name.

Well, the other problem is that if I change my name I will have the same name as a famous folk singer - which I don't want.

Also - I really won't mind if people call us Mr and Mrs M. But I just don't think I will change it legally.

Haven't decided yet. I like my name, but FH's name is shorter and perfect for a teacher. I kind of want to keep it, but FH wants me to take his.

I'm definatly changing it. I'm traditional and I couldn't imagine not taking my husband's name. Plus, I like his last name alot better than mine!
