When I marry my h2b, I will be double barreling my name. So the question is, what is your h2b/husband's doing/done about their name?

I'm going to be having a double barrel name. My partner was to pleased when I told him but he understands now xx

We are both double barrelling so that nobody has to give up their name, we become a new family of two

Nothing, I'm just taking his name. I think Stephenson-Wyles would be a bit long

We took each other's names. He understood that I didn't want to loose my family name and our names together sound really nice. We both went double-barrelled.

I love my surname, but not too fond of my fella's surname so I am going to double-barrel. He knows this and complained that my name would be well long but I don't mind 😂

We are considering making up a new name together. Quite excited about it!

My husband double barrelled too. If he is going to do it get him to do it by deedpole before you are married, then you will automatically take his name on your wedding day. If you both do it after, it will cost you more x

Warren cruttenden would be a pain! I have to spell my surname as it is! lol I just took his x

Cope-O'Rourke (or vice versa) doesn't really work, so I'm taking his name. I'm really looking forward to being Mrs O'Rourke actually, but then again I'm hugely traditional anyway.x.

I wish I could do this but my h2bs name is already double barrelled ️ (Davidson-Farley) so I don't think Leveridge-Davidson-Farley will work

My h2b already has a double barrel name so not much choice. But one thing to think about - if you have a really long name then you will have difficulty writing your name in boxes on forms. My h2b already has trouble and my full name will be longer so it could be fun lol

I'm taking h2bs name as it sounds odd double barrelled with my maiden name and my current surname

He didn't change his and I stuck a hyphen and his on the end of mine as I didn't want to give mine up. He wasn't best pleased to start but he's fine with it now. We did consider both using Hendersimm but imagine having to spell it every time.

I'm taking his name. It's way easier to spell than mine!

Nope, just taking his name. I think Björn-Gwilliam would just confuse the life out of everyone. 😂

I didn't want to change my name - some friends suggested double barreling but 'Bibby-Hand' sounds like a disease so I just kept mine & he kept his x
