Traditions / Superstitions: Anyone not changing their name?

- CommentAuthorTrisarahtops
Anyone keeping their maiden name after they get married? I'm considering keeping mine as I'm an academic, but on the other hand my son's name is an amalgamation of mine and H2b's surnames. I would have been more keen to change my name if my son had my surname first but H2b insisted he had his surname first and then mine...
- CommentAuthorbridalmiss
I asked about this this other day, and the consensus was some brides were keeping their surname professionally and the married name on official docs such as electoral roll etc...
- CommentAuthorLegoWife
I won't be changing mine cause H2b and I coincidentally have the same surname, lol.
Will be changing my title though :)

I know, all my friends has sensible names like Hough. I was so Jealous. Stuart is a much nicer surname, although Van Der Lee is cool!

Back to the original thread though, I think it would be acceptable to change your name on all you legal documents etc, but maybe keep your current name for work?

If only life could be one long tea break
- CommentAuthorMrs van der Lee
I'm sure people do that don't they?? I'm sure some of the female consultants in the hospital where I work practice under their maiden name but are actually married

I cant wait to get rid of my name, I have nothing to do with my dad and its the only thing i have ever got from him so im quite happy for it to go.

I work with people who are married but use their maiden for work purposes x
- CommentAuthorLegoWife
Lol anni, we've not had that yet, but when one of H2B's aunts found me on facebook she was straight on the phone to his mum asking "WHAT'S HOLLY'S SURNAME!?"

Don't think she was impressed at all. Like I'd stolen their family name or something lol.

Post addressed to us both often has me down as Mrs Parker but I don't suppose it matters that much!

- CommentAuthorSkamer
When I get married I am going to keep keep my surname and double barrel it with my OH, although I won't be using it in everyday. I want to keep my family name as my brother has two girls so our family name may be lost as my dad only has sisters, my OH family only pop out boys so hopefully they can carry on my name.
- CommentAuthorala
I kept my surname for 4 years, but since having a baby have recently changed it so we all match as its just easier that way
- CommentAuthorloustew2012
was talking about this a couple of hours ago. as h2b was adopted at 5 months he said he would consider changing his name to mine. but i wanna change mine to his and i felt that his mum and dad might not like that after everything they have done for him in the past. so we thought about double barrel it which mean it would be aitchison-stewart but i think its too much so we are going to leave it for now and decide later. also his family call me louisa and mine lisa and i think lisa stewart sounds better lol!!! xxx

All the ways of my life id rather be with you.
Theres no way without you.

I love my surname, Deane, as my family are Irish and don't really want to change to my h2b's which is Skinner as I dont want to loose my heritage if you get me lol
Plus his sister is also called Kelly so there will be two Kelly Skinner's!

Marrying the perfect guy!

However my fiance is not happy i am not changing my name so will stay as Gibson and then if i leave work i will start somewhere new on my marrier name.

- CommentAuthorRags
I'd like to take husbands name for social purposes, but keep my maiden name at work, I am a nurse and all my registration is in maiden name, computer logins etc.

I don't know what I should do? Double barrell? Where do I draw the line, I guess my passport would need to be husbands name, but I don't know the ins and outs, has anyone else looked into this?

I'm now a married woman
I have a gorgeous husband
Whats to do now
Theres no more wedding planning to do
- CommentAuthorXbox widow
I will be glad to get rid of mine cos I'm sick of being asked if I'm related to Desmond Lynam, but on the other hand my new name will be Bowen so it will probably change to are you related to Jim Bowen? super, smashing, great. Only Bullseye fans will know what I'm prackling on about.
- CommentAuthorJill
Well I'm going to be Dunnery and dont know of anybody with that surname other than people h2b is actually related to. I am in for a lifetime of spelling my name but I dont mind - been having to spell my first name for years and that's a simple name x

29th September 2012
Cant wait to be Mrs D!
- CommentAuthorSijen
I'm currently debating this. I love my surname but h2b gas a good surname too but I feel that Miss Stokes is MY teacher name. If I'm still in the same school I will probably stay Miss S but if I move schools I may go as Mrs C lol. X

Keeping mine!
- CommentAuthorSweetchilli
I really want to keep my surname but h2b wants me to take his name. Im not sure what I am going to do yet. Do you have to change your passport, bank account and driving licence to h2b name when married?
- CommentAuthor
I'm keeping my surname. It's double barrelled already with my Mum's maiden name (she kept hers too) and Dad's name.

W2B is insistent that she wants to change her surname to my dad's family name but not include mum's as she doesn't "want to sound too foreign" (mum's chinese)
- CommentAuthorrocketqueen
I'm changing mine but can't say I'm a fan his surname

But my surname is my dads and I want nothing more of him in my life so Mrs C I will become!!

Here comes the bride......
- CommentAuthor
Techinically, you could change it to anything you want. Princess Consuela Bananahammock?
- CommentAuthorMrsBroady2B
I'm going to be changing mine. I hate having a different last name to my children. On the other hand, I am going to miss my last name very very much. I just hate the thought of having the same last name as h2B parents, and not having the same name as my Dad and that side of the family anymore. My Dad's side of the family are the best!!!
- CommentAuthorMrsKisywisy
lol gracelet

i'm changing mine. hate my last name (langlands). imagine if i double-barrelled?? mrs melissa elizabeth langlands-bannerman....eh, naw lol

I'M MARRIED!!!

I am now Mrs Bananaman!!!!

- CommentAuthormadison_uk
had a double barrow on my first wedding allot easier to change back when you split, this time cos of the kids my h2b has changed his surname cos of them and the fact that he hates his surname
- CommentAuthorMrsKisywisy
i think it's sometimes easier for h2b change but it's personal preference.

i can't wait to say goodbye to 'what was that?? langlang?? langs?? langford?? longland?? LONGLEGS?!?!?!?!?!?!?' LOL

I'M MARRIED!!!

I am now Mrs Bananaman!!!!

I always said I would never change my name because I was such a daddy's girl lol my 2 daughters have my name but when me and David get married me and the girls are going to take his surname. We'll still keep my maiden name as a middle name though ':)' x
- CommentAuthorRags
Oooohh an extra middle name for me....now there's a thought.

I'm now a married woman
I have a gorgeous husband
Whats to do now
Theres no more wedding planning to do
- CommentAuthormrs-anni-oc
i have the same name already so no im keeping my name x
- CommentAuthoremmaaa
Hahaha, how many Simpsons are there on this thread!? I used to hate it, got called Marge all the time, and the theme tune thing! But as I've got older I actually quite like it, maybe because people have stopped with the word association games, and it does make it easier to tell official type people what your name is without having to spell it! I'm really really going to miss it, especially since h2b is not that close to his dad's side of the family, and being an only child means the end of the line for our little band of Simpsons! But hey ho, I'm a big fat traditionalist, so Mrs Lewis I will become!
- CommentAuthorElle23
I cant wait to take OH's name.
I am the odd one out at the mo, both kids have his surname....even the dog!
He did suggest taking my name as he hates his so much but i love it!
Im going to be Mrs Hunnybun!!!!

To be wed on our 10 year anniversary! 23.08.2013
