Making the switch..

Im excited to be taking his last name, im moving up in the alphabet from v to p so thats a bonus!

Making the switch..

Here I go again, black sheep...Am I the only one who is DREADING changing my name!?!? I've been me for 31 years, it's so hard for me to think about being someone different. Of course I'm going to change it because a. it's important to FH and b. i want to have the same last name as my kids but UGH Im doing it kicking and screaming the entire way!

Making the switch..

I'm taking his last name. I won't have three first names anymore when I do. In my heart I will always be with my maiden name.

Making the switch..

Taking his last name but still get to keep my 'CC' initials!! Which makes me happy because a few people call me that :)

Making the switch..

I'm taking his last name. We already have 2 little girls and I gave them his last name because I knew one day, eventually, we would get married lol

Making the switch..

Taking FH's last name!

This.

I want to have the same last name as our kids but I am definitely doing it kicking and screaming. I don't know, I just find the whole thing a little chauvinistic, and I hate the idea of changing my identity. Plus, I REALLY don't want to do all the paperwork, it seems like an insane headache lol.

I'm super excited to take his last name! Unfortunately, I am a teacher and when I told my students what my new last name would be, they all rolled their eyes. They like my name now better because it rhymes with things lol Get over it Kiddies! haha

You're not alone girls! I really like my last name and am very attached to it. I'm considering hyphenating. My FH doesn't mind what I choose either way though

I'm in the same boat for a different reason. I want to keep my last name because my dad passed away when I was 8 and I want to keep his last name. While Fh understands he really wants me to take his name so I will. Just not happy about it.

I Feel the same exact way, my dad died 5 years ago when I was 17 and I feel like that is one of my last links to him and I will not let go of my last name. It has caused major arguments and I know FH family is not happy with it. I will hyphen it but absolutely refuse to drop my last name. I love my FH but its just not happening.

Plus on top of the first reason my last name is a simple pretty Italian name, Sabella and his is Angerhauser... every time I tell someone they say WHAT?! If it weren't for having kids and wanting to share a last name in some way I would't take it at all to be honest lol I just despise it. I'm a little mean but I can't help it

I understand that. I'm going from Roberts to Hartje which is actually easy to say but people butcher it thinking it's said some weird way. At least I move up in the alphabet

Making the switch..

I'm taking his last name, even though I hate the idea bc it's what I called my mother in law lol. I'll keep my maiden name at work though

Making the switch..

taking his name! I never liked my last name and only if it sounded right would i hyphenate but I don't think it has a ring to it. but with just his name my name is complete :)

The ONLY reason I'm considering changing it is b/c his Mother recently got REMARRIED and totally goes by her new name!! Bahhahaahhaha That and he claims its super important to him...UGHHHHHH It's so archaic!!

Making the switch..

I will be keeping my last name. I am my father's only child and our children even have my last name because i feel strongly about keeping my name going. Plus i dont want to deal with the hassle of changing it.

I promised hubby I would get his named tattooed to make up for it.
