Has anyone not taken their husbands name? We have a son who has his name.
If your son has his name wouldn't that make you want his name more than you would usually?
Me and my daughter can't wait to take his name (he's not her bio dad) so we can have the same name as him and her brother x
They question is - HAS anyone not.... not SHOULD I..
Me and my fiancé are taking each other's names x
My eldest son has my name, my youngest has both our names. I'm thinking of making us all double barrel
My twins have my name and my youngest has my husbands name. We were together 11 years before we got married so we kept our names the same. I figures if it works why change it x
I didn't take my husbands name. I love my surname so i kept it x
My husband took my name, as my mum and dad have all girls as does my dad's only brother! Now we can pass our name on to atleast 1 more generation!
This is one of those things that nobody can agree on!! My maiden name means a lot to me so I was very stuck. Lots of people said to me not to change it. I was thinking of hyphenating both our names. But I decided to take his as it means a lot to my husband, and I would like us to all have the same name when we have children. The only person that can decide this one is you, as it's your name, and you'll probably find other people's opinions won't sway yours x
I will be taking his name. We will have been together 13 years by the time we get married next year and I've always wanted his name. My little girl has his name and my little will also when he is born in a few months. Hate not having the same name as my kids.
I'm going double barrelled but he is keeping his name, we reckon if we have children girls will be double barrelled like me and any boys would just take his name-follow a pattern as it were. He doesn't mind that I'm doubling up and I don't mind that he is keeping his name only. I think it is completely up to you and your partner as to what you decide to do x
I'm in the same boat, we are getting married next year. We have two daughters who have his name but my son has my name...x
Me! Kept my own name. Kids will have his name but are welcome to use mine if they want one day :) I have different surname to my parents & it's fine, you're still family & the world doesn't end x
My h2b's brother and his wife took each others and made it double-barrel... that way they continue both family names, which is quite sweet... She doesn't have any brothers so would end at her really.
