I cant wait to change my surname as i hate my name now. in fact a few yrs ago i was already to change my name to my mums maiden name but then i got my job in spain so would have been too much with all the paperwork and changing my passport and everything so decided not to until id got back but then i met h2b. so il be changing from Miss Haley Jayne Hemborough to Mrs Haley Jayne Cook. ata least people will pronounce and spell one part of my name lol x
also wold have been nan and grandads anniversary
CommentAuthorWonkyDesmond
Hi NinaP, thanks for your suggestion!
A gay couple that I know did that and I thought it worked beautifully for them! The other thing I forgot to mention is that h2b has kids from his previous marriage and that he doesn't want a different name from them (loooooong story!!!).
So it really is out of those options :( I really like the idea of a double-barrelled name as it sounds quite posh, but worried it sounds quite pretentious??
Oh it's such a nightmare!!!!!

Now I have to decide which one I want to sound more like- a budget airline or a vintage car!
Which have the better reputation? Lol!

CommentAuthorMrsWright290912

CommentAuthorHobbitBeth
I love my surname now because it has so much history to it, but i love H2B's surname because people cant say it and he has to spell it out haha! Which sounds really stupid i know, but i think it makes it a lot more interesting if its a name people hardly hear! I'm curently Bethany Stanley, which i've always liked and never had a problem with, but when married it'll be Bethany Keleher, which is pronounced Kel-eh-her, but some people say Kaleher, purely because it is Irish and my H2B is from Yorkshire haha! :P

Mines going from Broughton to Barton lol, snot much difference and I've managed to keep signature similar!! My sister and I will both still have the initials KB when we both marry which I love :) x
CommentAuthorMrsGalbraith2B
I will become Debra Galbraith. I have never been particularly fond of my current surname (Taylor) but to me it seems to work better than my future surname of Galbraith. I think it sounds clunky! lol. Still, I've waited a looonnnnng time (10yrs) and he could be called something really obscure for all I care, I just can't wait to become his wife! x
CommentAuthorMrsNoz2b
I'm looking forward to changing my name. I love being a Hill (although it's a little plain) I always remember when I was younger saying to my mum how i would live to marry a man with an unusual surname. Well I found him! In 13 months I will be Mrs Kayleigh Nozedar. Get ur gob round that one lol!!! Xxx
CommentAuthorNinaDawson
Can't wait to change my name either. No longer want to be a Foakes and be directly asscociated with my family (long story). So I will be going from Nina Foakes to Nina Dawson, and will be glad to finally be officially a part of the Dawson family, who have been more of a family to me in the past 3 years than mine ever have. Plus, mine and H2Bs initials will then both be ND so I may just steal his signature :P lol

Im not the fond of my name so not that bothered about changing it and people alway spell it wrong, Brannan. I will be Mrs Sarah-Jane Giles :D
CommentAuthorCharlotteB32
My h2b did have a double barrelled name with his ex. I refused to take his ex's name (why should I?) and he has changed his surname by deed poll to his original which is jones.
My surname is Bolton. The issue is my daughter who has the same surname as me (I changed her name by deed poll from her dads due to his violence and so we are harder to trace than with his surname).
I don't want to change her name again and want to keep linked to her too.
My plan at the mo is to have my maiden name as my middle name Charlotte hannah Bolton jones. Although I may double barrel it. But if I keep it that way I have bj as my initials!? Or Charlotte Hannah jones Bolton.
My oh isn't too bothered as he says with jones you just disappear into the ether which is kind of what I need with my ex! Plus I've booked our family holiday under the surname jones.
Decisions!
CommentAuthorKat_87
I will be changing from Kathryn Warrington to Kathryn Smirthwaite. I felt weird about changing it at first but my brother married earlier this year and his wifes name is now Katie Warrington - I hate it! It's so similar to my name and confuses me on facebook all of the time! Friends and family think I've put an update and then realise its her! So now I'm quite looking forward to changing it so I can get some individuality back!!!!
Soon to be Mrs Kathryn Eva Smirthwaite :-)
CommentAuthorLauraJo87
Oh Elle that's a fantastic last night! I'm actually jealous.
My maiden name is Baumber, which is pretty horrendous. Married name will be train, which I prefer.

CommentAuthorLynD
I go from being Lyn Davis which, as another poster said is always spelled incorrectly... I mean there's a 50/50 chance of getting it right but most put an 'e' in it) to being Lyn Whittock.. my maiden name was Parsley (good grief...)... how about Lyn Parsley-Davis-Whittock hehehehe..
I haven't got a middle name............ I feel so incomplete :(

CommentAuthorMrsWright290912
i used to be very very proud of my name and didnt want to lose it - even thought of using it as a middle namei even asked h2b if he'd change his name instead! that got a short shrift! now after a big family barny which caused me to be ousted from my whole parental family - they are now not coming to my wedding (though my choice, not theris!), i'm glad to get rid of the name tbh
I really did marry my Mr Wright and we had a nice day for a
Wright wedding!

CommentAuthorVickie
I am going from Miss Victoria Blake to Mrs Victoria Cameron-Davies.
I am happy to change my surname as its a new chapter in my life and would like the same name as kids when they come along. I don't feel changing your surname means you are losing a part of your life, that part will always be with you. It is a new chapter, you can't change what happened.
I own my business Vickie Blake Therapies which will still be that as I have now built up a reputation on it. Just cos officially I will be Cameron-Davies I will always be a Blake.

CommentAuthorMrs Cartwright
I can't wait to change my name. Not because I don't like it but so it will be the same as H2b's along with hopefully future children. I will go from Lisa Rose Collyer to Lisa Rose Cartwright so my initials won't change so signature won't be too much different. I was going to double-barrel it but it might be a bit of a mouthful
CommentAuthormym72
I'm an only child so it was a bit sad losing my surname - but I'm very traditional and so was happy to take my husband's name. Unfortunately though, I spent years spelling my maiden name to people as it was Marlowe (I had to tell people that it had a E on the end lol). I'm now Maria Parkins - and seem to spend my time now telling people that it has an S on the end lol.

I cant wait to change my surname either! I will be Mrs Faye Brooks :-) One of my bridesmaids says it sounds like a porn star name LOL but i wonder if thats because of Kelly Brooks being page 3 n all.............

I can't wait to change my name! I will go from Miss Kirby to Mrs Whyley! I'm having a similar problem as above though in that I'm wondering whether to keep my professional name as my maiden name, as that's how people know me, it's very difficult...
No option of double-barrelling either - I would be Mrs Kirby-Whyley - ewwww!

I can't wait to ditch my surname as I've always hated it...it's Eve and has always been a load of bother for me. When I tell people my name I have to say, it's Eve as in Xmas....as they nearly always mishear me and think it's Evans or something! lol
When I'm married I'll be Liz Johnson, I love the sound of that :)

my h2b used to have the surname annabull but his dad walked out when he was 7 and he hasnt seen him since so he changed his surname by deed poll to his mums maiden name so I am going to be Mrs Claire Eminson instead of Miss Claire Reed. Altho we do have some males in the family with the surname Reed we arent close so my sister will be the only close relative with the surname Reed and she has said if she ever gets married the man would have to take her surname as she will not change her surname lol.. the only problem I will face is changing all paperwork at work for my new name and I am countersignature for CRB's at work so will have to re apply and change my signature and name xx

I wanted rid of my surname, as it was my ex-husbands name....Bourne, but my new surname sounds funny when you say it with my christian name,
Anne North
So I have been signing my name Anne Marie North......sounds better. but my christian name isnt hyphenated or anything, my name is actually only Anne, with Marie being a middle name......it just doesnt seem to sound right when I use Anne on its own. sounds a bit like EEEYOR
