    Hehe, I'm hyphenating (as is my h2b) so its going to be hilarious. Our surnames both have "ya" in them, but they're pronounced differently *evil laugh*

    im going from spencer to pollock which i upset my h2b few weeks ago when drunk and telling the tale of when someone asked me what my married name will be and i replied oh dont oops its going to be strange as my 2 kids are spencers and its why i never changed my name when i got divorced but although i will find it strange having a different name to the kids i think it would be even stranger having another mans name than my husbands

    omg it now says 2 months to go xx

    iam lokking foward to changing my name but also bit worried as myself and my little girl have the same last names (her dad isnt really involved and didnt want his name on the birth certificate) when me and h2b get married we will have the same last names but my little girl wont :( and any kids we have in the future will have the same last names as us but not as my little girl..im really worried she's going to feel like the odd one out and dont really know what to do about it :S

    I am not looking forward to changing my name. H2B's name just doesn't seem to flow well with my first name IMO. I'm going from Amy McHugh to Amy Bee. Keep using it for things (like my forum name here!) so I get used to it a bit. I did try to convince hubbie2b to take my name, but he was having none of it. Thought of hyphenated but Bee-McHugh doesn't flow well either, and Mchugh-Bee just sounds funny, especially as I've always loved the name Toby for my first son.

    I guess I'll get used to it!

    that would be brilliant....my h2b is more like a father to her anyways...her dad just kind of seems like somebody who picks her up on a sat for a few hours then drops her home...never been to a christmas play or parents evening..i just know her dads family will go nuts if i change her last name to h2bs even though she doesnt have her dads name...all so complicated!!:(((( but thanks that would help muchly xx

    I really wanted to keep my surname but h2b said he'd only marry if I changed it! Lol! I even asked him if he'd mind if I double barrelled it but that was a no no to! I guess fell-jones would be a bit much lol! X

    I can't wait. My h2b's name is Green which has always been my favourite colour, I have way too much green stuff, you would notice if you came to my house :D No that's not why I fell for him lol! I did actually fall for him before I knew his last name :p x

    We still havent decided.. I am dead set on keeping mine and he's dead set on keeping his, and actually laughed in my face when I suggested double barrelling - I think Thurston-Jones sounds quite classy, but never mind! x
