Did/will you take his last name or did/will you hyphenate

[isioma85]

No hyphenation abeg. African names are long enough as it is

 

[softblackcotton]

Ill hyphenate I'm the only child. My father has no sons to pass on our name plus its a rare name. Love my family.

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

I have my husband's last name. However, I did hold on to my maiden name for a little while after the wedding.

 

[somewhereinbtwn]

This poll didn't have an option for me. Which would be keeping my name, no hyphenation. Besides in my culture women don't change our last names. Even if we did, I would still be keeping mine.

 

[Everything Zen]

I'm keeping my name. I am the last of our species and it will die out with me.

 

[brown_skin_poppin]

I love my last name so I'm keeping it, sorry future hubby lol.

I did not hyphenate. Instead, since I never had a middle name, I changed my maiden name to my middle name.

 

[Windsy]

I'll be saying good bye to mine.

I did the same. I do not want my last name being my middle name.

Thats something to consider. Your kids having two last names. What happens if they meet someone with two last names and that person wants to keep their last name?

You know his daddy probably don't think thats optional

I plan on hyphenating, but I want the kids to have his name when I get married and have kids.

 

[Anakinsmomma]

Taking his name.

 

[PlatinumBronze]

I'm still not sure what I will do. My ex had two last names which were already hyphenated so I started rethinking hyphenating after dating him. That would have been too many names to keep up with. Then I thought about dropping my middle name and using my maiden name as my middle. Well I'm single now so I guess it all depends on what FH last name will be. I really don't want to drop my maiden name.

 

[SerenavanderWoodsen]

Kept my name completely. I applied to have it changed but I never got anything back and just forgot about it. As far as my name is concerned I'm a single lady .

 

[Superfly Sister]

I'm unmarried and currently have an hyphenated name. As a child I hated my name but now I LOVE my surname because it's pretty different. I think I would be pretty reluctant to let go of it

 

[Whimsy]

I hyphenated. I don't like his last name I feel so connected to my surname and love how strong it is and the association with it....but...I think next year before we have kids I'm going to bite the bullet and just take his name and drop mine for everything personal.
All my business stuff is in my maiden name only. So I'll never lose it

 

[SuchaLady]

I have no plans of changing my last name when I get married. Hyphenating at the most.

I'm traditional. I have my DH last name. I want him and his name for life. I'm all into family and heritage, but my maiden name, was my father's last name; once married, it was about DH and I becoming one unit.

 

[MizAvalon]

I have always been against changing my last name but I have softened up. Not to mention, my SO would never agree to me keeping my maiden name. He is willing to compromise on a hyphenate and I am too.

Why were you against it?

 

[barbiesocialite]

I'm not for having a long arse name by hyphenating, I guess I'll end up changing it

 

[R4L]

If he's the kind of man I would marry, then yeah. I like caveman style nigglets that want you to take their name.
