Okay so some of you will find this weird, others may agree - I honestly feel like changing my last name is a bit traumatizing, like i'm changing my identity.
My FH's last name is very basic - Davis. And mine is Italian and i LOVE it. So i joked around with him in the past about not changing mine and even him changing his. He wasn't having it!! So I came to terms that I'll change my name and possibly keep my maiden name professionally. UNTIL...
We were sitting at the table during Christmas and talking about last names and my FFIL said that he seriously considered changing his name to his wife's maiden name. My FFIL had a bad history with his father and as it turns out - hates! his last name. I laughed, but my FH turned to me and said 'we'll talk later.' I completely thought he was kidding until we were talking to my mom the next day and I told her the story - my FH nudged me and said 'i'm serious, we're going to talk about this' I REALLY Think he's thinking of taking my last name!!! I'm excited and weirded out at the same time.
Besides loving my name, I'd hate to lose it because the name ends with my sisters and I. My grandfather's brother didn't have any children, my dad is the only man and he only had girls
How would you feel if your FH took your last name???

Names...is this weird?
My name will be going from a very Jewish sounding one to 'Frank' --- get it? My user name says it all.
I will say that after changing my name for my 1st marriage and then back again to my maiden name, I never want to go through the process again! I will do it but will only use it socially. I have certifications in my maiden name and just don't think it makes sense to change it.
