Miss Ginger Ryder... I've told you what I think lol.
I can't wait to change my name.
Taking my husbands name is a symbol of my love for him and for my desire to start a new life with him and leave the old behind. xx

im doulbe barreling my name the same as our kids names so its going to be carson-moores but h2b is also changing his name too

I love my new surname! But I was boring old Harris so I had nothing to lose (plus I only have a brother and all my cousins on my dad side are male so loads to carry it on!)

However my family was talking about how sad it was our old surname, Fernie, has pretty much died out so I understand where you are coming from- I may reintroduce it as a middle name!

i WISH CHANGE MY SURNAME AGES AGO AND NOW i HAVE A REASON BUT IF YOU LIKE YOURS YOU CAN KEEP ,WHATS H2B SAY ABOUT THAT? SORRY FOR CAPS ,BABIES

i kept mine the 1st time round and i am having a double barrel surname this time so my daughter isnt left out as she has my maiden name which was my married name when i was married to her dad CONFUSED? me 2 haha

mine will be Jennifer Leah-Berry :0) xx

my ex husband took mine it was lovely to keep my name as it is a little unusual xx

my h2b offered to take my name which i thought was sweet especially as i didnt ask him but ill be taking his. i work with elderly people, theyre the generation that seem to think i should give up work just because im getting married. anyway my brother already has a son to carry on the bufton name. i quite like the idea of being a hodson instead. xx

I was thinking of keeping mine and maybe having his. Hes adament hes not changing his!

grr i just had to spell out my new last name 3 times WTF LOL

I will be taking on my H2Bs surname. People often get my mainden name wrong so i end up being sent letters addressed to Miss A Hole, which is a bit embarrassing! So i will be Mrs Plues, which i like cos its different.

i really looking forward to changing my surname to roberts as i hate my surname it sounds to horrible lol xxxxxx

im still getting used to my new name lol

I'm taking his but keeping mine, as a tribute to my Dad. I'm the last in our line with my name. So I'll be Cheryl Louise Adcock-Smith :) x

Im changing to his. I like my name (Phillips) but i want to show him how proud i will be to be his wife by taking his name (lewis). Well theres that and with 2 middle names my name would be way too long to have double barrelled.

Im glad to see there are a few other like me, haha.

I know I will take his name, but I will be sad to see mine go. I liked it as it connected 2 families that hadn't spoken to each other in 13 years. I may keep the Ginger part for my Nan's sake (she died of cancer a few years ago). I'm the last born Ginger female which I think is quite sad. My step-mum and aunt have it, but they married into it. My aunt and uncle have 2 little boys so I know the surname will keep going for a few more decades yet. But hey ho.

It will be nice to not have to spell my surname out every time I mention it. But at the same time, I think I'm going to miss people going "wow" when they hear it. Lol. It will be nice to start a new branch of the Thomas family as they have recently "lost" Ben's aunt to a different surname. Haha

My personal feeling is that I don't see the point spending money on a ceremony if I don't take his name as part of marriage is becoming part of his family but I think it's entireldown to what you feel comfortable with :) I can't wait to be Mrs Ryan.... might have to change my nickname though.. don't think Griffers will be appropriate any more! xxx

Am keeping mine and trying to persuade him to take it. We've also talked about choosing a new one together which would be quite fun! X

It's more difficult as you would both need to change your name by deed poll. Apart from the difficulty in actually choosing the name this will probably stop us doing this as we are both lazy! If the man were to take the woman's surname he would also need to change via deed poll I think.

I certainly wouldn't change mine if it was as awesome as Ginger Ryder! I'm changing mine but only really because Read is my Ex husband's name. I will be Mrs Marjoram..... a bloody herb! :o) x

Mrs Tyson 2b, I can understand you wanting to change your name! Tyson has a much better sound to it, lol.

Never too much, how posh does that sound? At the end of the day it's whatever makes you both happy flower. I still think your surname is awesome though! :o) x

I'm looking forward to being Ruth Coverdale. I think it sounds like a mum's name. I want to be a mum!

On the other hand I think there are definitely situations where it makes sense not to change your name or to choose something else - I have a friend who changed her surname to Gay when she got married and then later they both changed their names because they were worried their children would get bullied at school.

There was a boy at my school whose mother's name was Pat Mycock. Honestly!

i too am the last of my branch of timms but i cant double barrel my last name too at my uncle had a son so it will carry on for a while yet...

cant wait to be mrs Jamie-lee Cooper :@)

Im taking my h2bs name as i too think its a sign of commitment to him and our new life together, i also really like my new name which will be Rachel Hazelwood. x

I'll be changing mine, although not changing my passport until after honeymoon. :)
