Changing last names

tantalizingfemme · 04-11-2013, 03:34 PM

I would change my last name to my beloved's, no questions asked; to me it is an honor. What I would also do is keep my maiden name as my middle name as I want to keep that connection with my son.

I was thinking about the idea of combining last names and if Dapper and I got married and we combined last names it would sound like hurl. lol

Not gonna work.....

Before we got married we discussed if we should change our names. Our marriage is recognized legally, so it would have been easy to do. For us the best choice would have been an amalgamation of the two names - our names are too long to be hyphenated, and we didn't care for the option of one losing her birth name to take on the other's birth name. Unfortunately the only combination of the two names that we could come up with was "Rabies". The thought of: "Rabies! Table for two for the Rabies family!" effectively ended the debate. So it's Mrs. and Mrs. Suebee and Dandy until further notice. lol

I would hope that my hubby/partner/spouse (whichever term floats your boat here) would honor me with their last name. I am old fashioned like that-especially of we will be having/raising children. Just my 2 cents.

When my fiance and I get married I'm taking their last name. They didn't ask me to, it was something I choose and it make them really happy when I told them I wanted to do that. For me its a sign of commitment and honor. A sign to the world that this is the person who holds and protects my heart.

I am in the process of changing my name. I am very happy to do so. I did not change my name in my first marriage. My spouses last name is nice. My maiden name is very hard to spell and pronounce and I won't miss that.
