Re: to hyphenate or not to hyphenate ... this is my question

definitely not hyphenating, my last name would be crazy long and complicated if i did!

Re: to hyphenate or not to hyphenate ... this is my question

FH has two kids...so I havebeen hyphenating my name for a while (even though we arent married yet)...so just to make it easier for the teachers etc. I'll likely hyphenate at work and take his last name for everything else

Re: to hyphenate or not to hyphenate ... this is my question

FH wants me to take his, but I'm not sure what I want to do. His name is nice and easy, but I like my last name. I still have 13 months to decide.

Re: to hyphenate or not to hyphenate ... this is my question

i'm hyphenating for all legal documents, but i'll have people address me with his last name only.

Re: to hyphenate or not to hyphenate ... this is my question

I'm taking his last name but I am leaving my last name as like a second middle name. So say my name was 'Lauren Elizabeth Smith' and his name was 'Michael Anthony Jones,' my name would become 'Lauren Elizabeth Smith Jones.' No hyphenation.

Re: to hyphenate or not to hyphenate ... this is my question

I am taking his name but changing my name all together, I will be changing my middle name to my maiden name, so I still have as a part of me but don't need to us it really.

Same here!! I think legally I have to hyphanate it, but then I can use his for certain things and mine for others. At work everyone uses their initials as a legal signature as well as signs legal reports, it would be a mess to change it after so long of going by a certain name.

Re: to hyphenate or not to hyphenate ... this is my question

Re: to hyphenate or not to hyphenate ... this is my question

my last name isn't a family name.. its my stepgrandfather's.. so the name has no real meaning to our family..

i could hypehenate.. it would be short enough.. but i think my married name will mean a lot more than the old one.

Re: to hyphenate or not to hyphenate ... this is my question

I want to keep my own last name...I like my last name and am very proud of it. I just have issues with his last name and he says he understands (dont think he likes it much though...). If we have children though I dont know who's last name they will have (I really want my last name carried on...there are all girls in my family, no boys, i dont want the last name to die when we all get married...)
