    Its lovely reading names on this forum and seeing how many brides can't wait to change their surnames but are there any of you out there who will be changing it so something funny/wierd especially if you are having a double barrelled name. My new DIL refused to have a double barrel name and I cant think why - her name was Amy Levell and her married name is now Wall ; A Levell- Wall would have been so funny

    I'm very much looking forward to taking the Riley name and my eldest has decided that she would also like to become a Riley. The youngest wont, but she's a daddy's girl (even though he has zero interest in her at all) and wont change her name because of it, but that's her choice and I respect that too :)

    My surname is gonna be stiles. Stacey Stiles sounds so bloody cheesy. And also most people spell stiles with a y instead of an i so Im sure I will be having to correct people with that.

    My new name sounds weird to me also when ever any one asks and I tell them they all seem to do and say the same thing so I can see it sticking
    I'll be Jodie Jackson which people either say in a deep voice like before a film eg staring Jodie Jackson of that it sounds like a porn star which then leads back to the voice lol
    But h2b wong let me double barrel (am baker now) or keep my own name so guess I need to get used to it x

    I'm going from a Halpin to a Tester. Both names have to be spelt out. I didn't actually think that either name was that difficult to spell or pronounce!
    It's quite annoying when I have to give my full name for forms coz I need to spell all 3 of my names

    I don't know what to do! My name is going to die out as it were cos all my generation in my family are girls, so I'd quite like to hang on to it, but would like the feeling of being a family all with the same name. May keep Rans for work, and change to Hill for everything else. I think that's allowed?

    See i still have the ex's surname as i wanted the same surname as the girls so didnt go back to my maiden name (burton) BUT now we have our son he has his dads name! Soo now im stuck do i change it to h2b's surname (martin) or double barrel it (cutts-martin/martin-cutts) (matt hates this idea tho as its the ex's name)????
    The thing is everyone is always saying the girls will evenyually have their h2b's names, so i might as well take my h2b's name as our son will always have it!!

    I'M STUCK.....................HELLLLLLLLLPPP!

    How old are the girls? If they are only very young then I would double barrel it so all your children know where they get their surname from.If they are older, then I would take your H2Bs name.

    I like my surname now Kielty - its unusual and links me to my Irish heritage etc but when I get married I will me Mrs Trow!
    Im excited to have my H2Bs surname but will be sad to see mine go! :( xxxx
