I had heard recently about a few brides to be that they either dont like what there new surname is going or be or it clashes with their first so I was jus wondering if any of you dont like your husbands surname or you love what its going to be
Mine will be Samantha Ogilby which I like and am very excited about

CommentAuthormadhen
Yes I heard a bit on Radio One where a girl wanted the listeners' opinions on whether or not to take her husband's name or to keep her own as well and make it double-barrelled, as she didn't think her name went with his surname :)
I don't particularly mind one way or the other. I don't think my new name will be very nice - Madeleine McCutcheon - but I don't think Madeleine Henry is that much better! The only thing that will be weird is changing my signature I think. And of course all the paperwork and stuff. I knew about passport, banks, insurance etc but as I'm a vet apparently I need to decide whether or not to change my name on the veterinary register too - no doubt they'll charge for the privilege!
I think Samantha Ogilby sounds very nice - and quite posh! ;)
CommentAuthorShazk
I think bout of yours sound good and have little ring to them (I think mine will be just a normal name but still happy with it) yes Madhen they will probably charge to change it on the register (my sister a VN) and I no they like to get pennies from you when they can lol x

CommentAuthorLinzi-jo
I can't wait to get rid of my surname! People never want to believe that it is is actually my name, when I first told my h2b what it was he laughed and said 'no seriously' and on the phone they always try to change it so I end up having to spell it out to them! My name is currently Linzi Balls and will change to Linzi Kyriacou! Bit of a mouthfull but so much better than what I have now! (even facebook wont let me use my last name as it is too rude so I had to add another s on to it! lol) xxx
Got together 14.02.2008
Got engaged 31.12.2010
Will become a Mrs on 30.08.2014 xxxxxx
Boo....something else to add to the budget! ;) Does your sister know if you can just leave it as your maiden name or does it matter?
CommentAuthorShazk
Not sure I will ask her for you and let u know (she will know the answer she a head nurse and know alot of her girls have not long got married etc so she will of sorted paperwork for them lol) x

CommentAuthorVelcro
I hate my surname, so I'm looking forward to changing it! Though, I must admit, I'm apprehensive about ditching it, as much as I don't like it, it's used as my nickname so it'll be weird not having it any more!
Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey
*Kelbel* is my wedding twinny!

Belle Ringer would be hilarious... though not for your future child I suppose haha!
I'm going to have a nice safe Owen surname, unlike the current Bradford, which I always get stick for, if he happened to have Kelly as his surname I think I'd refuse to change though haha, ain't no way I'd be being called Kelly Kelly!!

CommentAuthorTeganandRob
I'm excited to take my H2Bs name because I'm traditional and I think its romantic. However I live my name at the moment which is Faulkner. I will be changing to Preston which part of me just thinks its quite a boring name. Am I terrible? Regardless of the name I am very excited to become Mrs Preston.
CommentAuthorSelinaK
I loved my original surname, Knight. Considered making it double barrelled, but Brown-Knight just sounds like a bad Batman movie..... Lol! I was weirded out by the thought of changing my name, and still am! Its a family thing, I've always been proud of it. But being Mrs Brown is turning out to be quite nice, if confusing!! Scared the hell out the postie when I handed him the mail back the other day saying it wasn't for me. Hubby had to politely ask for it back, as I had forgotten I had changed my name lol!!!!
CommentAuthorSamantha
TeganandRon: I think preston is a luvly name!

Will not be changing mine, I can't imagine doing it
CommentAuthorSamantha
Do you not like yours SamanthaP91?
CommentAuthorSelinaK
the signature is the worst, because mine had evolved over the years as everyones does. When you are asked to change it, its odd! Mine now looks like a 6 year old has been messing about lol!!! xx
CommentAuthorSamantha
Mrs Brammer to be :) I have already been practising my signature lol
CommentAuthoremmaaa
I'm gonna miss my surname, I'm an only child and hate the idea that I'm giving away that part of my family heritage. I've not nothing particularly against Lewis as a surname, although I knew a right strange piece of work at uni who was also called Emma Lewis, that's gonna be weird. :-/ But Simpson-Lewis just isn't pretty or sensible, so Mrs Lewis I shall be (although I'm not sure I'll change my signature, most people just see a scribble anyway, but I designed it when I was 12, it'd make me feel better still signing myself as a Simpson, even if no-one else knew!

CommentAuthorSam
It's not that I don't like it, I'm just against the principle in general as it applies to me. I feel as if I would be throwing away my past and my accomplishments if I were to officially change my name. If people want to call me Mrs. So&So I wouldn't be offended, I just won't be changing it officially.
CommentAuthorSamantha
I know what you mean Samantha. Its up to yourself like, its your name after all. I just see my new name as a fresh new start :) x
CommentAuthorB2B2017
Im happy to change my name (my father has never bothered with me and left when I was 2) i'll go from a Williams to a Watkins xx

I have also tried out several ways but i cant seem to find away that i like the new ignature so lots of attempts will be done from now on lol x

CommentAuthorCrawf
I am going to be really sad to lose my surname - I have such a huge family and its so nice to be part of it, sharing a name (weird i know) I don't know if I like the idea of being Katie Robson...
I would prefer to be Katie Crawford-Robson, but my first name is Katie-Niamh so I think it'll be a bit silly to have two double barrels!! Katie-Niamh Ann Crawford-Robson
hahaha xxx
CommentAuthorMrs Davro
I'm not sure whether im looking forward to it or not, I'm going from a surname no one can spell (davis) to a surname no one can spell or pronounce (aldersea). In fact me and h2b are arguing about the pronounciation of his surname I say al-der-sea e says all-der-sea.
I hate when official people ask me my name as I have to stand there and spell every single letter (there are way too many different spellings of Catherine) its going to be even worse when I'm married.
I've already started trying to find a new signature as mine at the moment is just so fast and easy and difficult to read.
CommentAuthorMel D
I hate my new surname. My husband isn't too fond of it either. He would have taken my name but my old name meant less to me than last year's fashion trend. He says that he will change his name when his father dies (which may not be for 30 years!) but if we are going to have kids I will not let them have Nutt as a surname as there is enough for kid's to be teased/bullied for without the hardship of their name! If I become pregnant and he doesn't changed it then I will change mine back and they will have my old name with me.

I am looking forwardto not having to spell my surname every time I give it out. Only for them to still spell it incorrectly as if to suggest I can't spell my own name.

I was going to miss my surname, Rose, so much as i love it - but hubby was having none of it. Now that we're married he's happy for me to do with it what i want (yay) so I' m now Mrs Rose-McDermott. Happy wife, happy life! :)
CommentAuthorZeeMee83
I considered having it the same as our girls, Ormerod-Hadlum but we get SO many people say O what? So we're going to change theirs and mine and all be Hadlum. Atleast then i'll be able to order a curry without having to spell my surname lol x
CommentAuthorTeganandRob
Just tried to do my new name signature and it looks terrible! Might just keep signing my name the same, or I'll just have to practice every night until it becomes a bit more second nature!
CommentAuthorMel D
I didn't change my signature ... it doesn't matter what it says ... you could just have a big X if you wanted (although it wouldn't be very secure)

I have done the old school doodle of the new signature, before he even proposed!! sad but true!! dont we all!!
NinaP - love the idea of the tshirt, may have to rob that, thanks!! TeganandRob - I agree, its so old fashioned and romantic i love it!
I cannot WAIT to take my H2B's name!! I have always loved Jack for a boy's name (if i was to have a son) however, that will have to go out the equation as I am not allowing my son to be named Jack Daniels....really!?!
Other than that, I cannot wait to become Mrs Daniels :D - one good thing, it'll stop people going, what your surnames Goodman? but your a woman, so shouldn't it be GoodWoman.... yeh haha mate your a hoot.

CommentAuthorMorgsysGirl(kempy)
I however am sad that I am no longer a Kemp but deep down I will always be a KEMP and my dad said that at our wedding reception when he took a photo of me pint in hand! However I love my new surname. I have however been married two months and still say kemp when people ask my name then have to quickly correct myself. I still go to sign kemp too and my new signiture is little more than a scrawl my 3 year old could do. I'm sure the more i practice when I remember the neater it will get I hope. However at least my initals dont almost say STICK now well with out the I lol x

im not keen on mine i was jodie baker im now jodie jackson im sure i'll get used to it tho lol xx
CommentAuthorXTeresainLoveX
Well here goes, a good laugh to be had by all, my maiden name was Walford so you can guess how much stick I used to get, got married for the first time 19 years ago and became Taylor so Teresa Taylor had a nice ring to it. Unfortunately that marriage ended after 7 years. My future h2b's surname is Smith, so as you can imagine he doesn't like the idea of me double barrelling my surname as its my ex husband's surname lol so in 7 weeks time I'll become Teresa Clair Smith and have to be happy with it lol
CommentAuthorRedSez
I'm going from Sarah Barton to Sarah Butler. Not exactly a big leap, my signature is the same as well because after the B it is just a squiggle!

CommentAuthorWonkyDesmond
I have a bit of a dilemma about this actually- it has caused a few domestics!
Current name: Miss Charlotte Ryan Traditional Married Name: Mrs Charlotte Austin - issue here is that my h2b has been married before and I don't want to be Mrs Austin the Second to all his family. H2b says 'You're going to be my wife, you're taking my name' (I know, I know!) Other Option 1: Mrs Charlotte Ryan - my response to h2b's above comment- 'Fine, I'll keep my own' (Didn't go down too well!) Other Option 2: Mrs Charlotte Ryan-Austin - I'm worried that this sounds too much like RyanAir!!!!!!! Other Option 3: Mrs Charlotte Austin-Ryan - Sounds too much like a car, no? Other Option 4: Mrs Charlotte Rhian Austin - change my soon-to-be maiden name to a middle name (but female spelling) and take his name as my new surname?
As you can see, I have given this faaaaaar too much thought and want a decision!!!!!
What do you think ladies??
CommentAuthorMrsWright290912
ooooh it's a toughie
the other option eperhaps is to mix your names together - so for exmaple ryan and austin - rystin? I have seen this done before when her name was willis and his jackson - they became wilson.
That way it's new to both of you! x

CommentAuthorSian''OCD''Holkham
I was Sian West which I hated as its actually my mums 2nd husbands name so technically has nothing to do with me I am now Sian Holkham and even though its a weird name and makes phonecalls even more complicated because people can't spell not only my first name but my second name as well now lol but I have waited a long time to take my husbands name and I am so happy I'm no longer West x
i hate my partners suraname, we were origionally going to double barrel like our son is but oh wants me to take his name so im going along with is suppose i will learn to get used to it.....in 4 weeks i will be Mrs. Weaver :/
