Just curious which way you are going to have your last name after the wedding?

1. Fi's last name
2. Keeping your maiden name or
3. Hyphen names

I wonder how the MEN would feel if THEY had to give up THEIR names???? I don't wanna change my last name...Patrick is such a nice last name. I will be changing to Allicino....a nice Italian name...but I am not Italian AT ALL. But I will do it...even though I feel like I am letting go of my Irish heritage in some way. (but in my head I will still be a FIGHTIN' IRISH!)

I know a couple where the girl's first name is the same as her FH's last name. I think she will be keeping her last name

Someone once told me that if you legally hyphenate your name you can't use both names interchangably, you can only use the full hypenated name. I don't really know if it's true, just thought I'd put it out here!
