Re: is this too strange
I've heard of people doing this. I don't think it's strange. If you want to do it, then go for it! The only thing that I don't like is that it may screw up your family tree someday. But if that's my only concern, which is a totally lame one, then I see nothing wrong with it

So will he adopt to the 'blended' name as well? Just wondering..I've never heard that we can just create a last name legally. My family tree is already difficult to trace back far...wouldn't be a prob for me
I'm still wondering if I should take his name or hyphenate - Only problem is our hyphenated name sounds ridiculous! Professionally, I think I'll always be known by my maiden name.

I've heard of people doing that also. Do whatever is best for you both don't do s/t just b/c it's traditional or 'normal' thing to do. I say go for it! And I don't thing it's strange at all. I think it's meaningful, thoughtful, and modern. I tend not to go the traditional way at all; I prefer a more updated 'set of rules' so to speak!

Re: is this too strange
we both take the blended name
i think we will have to have it legally changed - but that is just a form you fill out at the probate office of the county - but might be able to do it right fromt he marriage license

It's not for me- but if that's what you want- then by all means! I'm not to thrilled about having to change my name!

I've never heard of anybody doing this, but I definately think it's a unique idea (unique in a good way.) and if your FH likes the idea, I say go for it!

Re: is this too strange
I think its a great idea. My FH would never go for it, but I don't want to take his name.
We just stopped talking about it. If your FH is ok with it then go for it.
My only concern is that other people are going to get on his case for doing it - and then he may end up taking it out on you. For example, my co workers already give me a hard time for not wanting to take his name - I know they would be relentless if they worked with a guy who changed his name - but, then again I work with grimy ignorant scum bags. so maybe that wouldn't apply to your situation

Re: is this too strange
my sister and her now husband originally thought of doing this.. but combined there were just too many vowels to work with and not enough consonants.
she doesn't get along with her inlaws and wanted to take his name.. just not his family's name.. but even if you are on good terms with the family i think it's a great way to officially start your own family.
if you both like it and can come up with a name you like go for it. dont worry about what other people think.
