So ladies what will be your new name?

[DanielleM]

What are you doing name wise?

Keeping your own?

Double barreling?

Or taking your grooms surname.

I will be taking my DF's surname and will become Danielle Griffin.

 

[aly888]

I'm taking my husbands name. I can't wait. His name is nothing spectacular but my name is horrific!!!! I would never marry someone if it meant changing my name to one like mine I don't know how my brothers managed to both secure wives!!!

 

[hshucksmith]

I will be going from Hannah Rose Shucksmith to Hannah Rose Abbey. I wanted to Double barrel to Hannah Rose Shucksmith-Abbey but my OH is having none of it!

 

[Lauren25]

Ill be having OHs

 

[candeur]

Ill be taking OHs name too, if post it but its quite a rare name and if someone were to put it into google this thread would pop up haha x

 

[Abblebubba]

I reeally wanted to take my OH's name because he is so traditional, but im now worried as i am on benefits and he is not finacially fit to support me atm, he doesnt have a house hes at his parents and i have my own place from the council, so if i do take his name i'll be

Mrs Abbey-Leigh Mclellan
or ill be...
Mrs Abbey-Leigh Mclellan-Phipps
or my name...
Miss Abbey-Leigh Phipps

Haha nothing ever plain and simple with me

 

[aly888]

Taking his name or not surely doesn't have an impact on your benefits? If being married will change them then that'll happen with or without his name I would have thought

 

[emyandpotato]

Aly I think she means that they will think they aren't a couple if she doesn't take his name, as they live apart.

HsHucksmith your married name sounds so posh!

I've already changed my name and I love love my new surname. My old one was tacky and I felt it sounded common and the new one is much nicer IMO, and it's nice having the same surname as Rory.

 

[Mummy May]

I'm taking OH's name I also don't want people finding me by googling so I'm not putting in my name haha! My OH wouldn't have me double barrelling lol he's very old fashioned. xx

 

[maryp0ppins]

I am keeping my own

 

[lozzy21]

I really dont know, I dont mind OH's name but i like my last name, its MY name.

 

[Mummy May]

I like my name too Lozzy xx

 

[DonnaBallona]

I must be the only person who cannot wait to get rid of my surname, I hate it! LOL! x

 

[LynAnne]

I'll be taking his as I'd like to have the same name as our future children and I want them to have his! Also, it's four letters shorter than mine so it'll be quicker to write!

 

[aly888]

I must be the only person who cannot wait to get rid of my surname, I hate it! LOL! x

Nope, I hate mine. Can't wait to see the back of it and never have to spell it out to people over the phone who think they've misheard me

 

[DonnaBallona]

LOL Aly me too! someone once put the phone down on me when I was booking a table in a restaurant because they thought it was a prank.

I called them back and opened a can of whoop ass!!!!!!!

 

[xemmax]

I was always adamant I'd keep my own but about 2 months before we got engaged I started thinking about how nice it would be to share the same name with them. I never said anything to Nick but I knew how much he wanted me to take his name and had always been a bit annoyed that I'd insisted I wouldn't once he proposed I told him I'd take it and he was so happy.

Would have loved to have a double-barreled surname but our names are very similar sounding, so it just sounds ridiculous

 

[Elpis_x]

We're thinking of hyphenating ours as they sound quite good together, I won't post it here because OH's surname is quite unusual. My only worry is that I would also like our children to have 2 middle names, so they may end up with excessively long names!

 

[aly888]

Mine and OHs surnames sound ridiculous hyphenated Whenever people ask what his surname is (in relation to the wedding) they always suggested double-barrelling, just for giggles I can safely say that is NOT happening. Haha

I admire women who keep their own names, or get husbands to take their names. If I had a cool name (ie, our daughters full name always gets complimented so i really hope she doesnt take a name that ruins it when she gets married) then I would want to keep it. I think my OH would be a bit disappointed if I didn't take his name though.

 

[4magpies]

I hate my surname and I cannot wait to get rid of it! I will be taking my OH's surname.
