GOTW QOTD 12/19

Original post by SummerGroom10

What will the couples be doing with their last names? Are you going to be traditional and take the grooms? Hyphenate?

Colleen has said that she will be taking my last name...

ok...call me a bad fw...I am thinking i might keep my last name...It might be a bit selfish to think this way, but there is a reason and i just dont want to get into it on the boards....




i dont think it makes you a bad FW at all!...doesnt mean you love your husband any less!

I am still torn as well...FH says that I don't have to if i don't want to...these days so many people don't change their names so its not really a big deal.

I completely agree very understandable it is very common doesn't make you a bad person

his name is a lot simpler to say and spell than mine is....which is good for a 2nd grade teacher. but i still like my name, so i'm up in the air about it. FH wants me to take his name. i tried telling him that he should take mine, he didn't go for that.

Its understandable you see this a lot more now, I wouldnt force Colleen to take my name she has just said she wants to...



I'm traditional when it comes to that. And I like your last name 100 times better than mine. At least people can pronounce it!

I get where you're coming from... we tossed this around, but my decision was to take FH's name. He wants to hyphenate, but then it would be LongIrishLastName-LongGermanLastName So, we're just going to go with LongGermanLastName, which makes me a little sad... I love my name it's so simple and nice.
