I am taking on my hubby-to-be's last name. And keep my last name as a middle name. I have such a strong connection to my family that it will always be part of my identity. Definately keeping my last name for professional purposes. Just makes sense He he… what an adorable story. I am taking on my hubby-to-be's last name. And keep my last name as a middle name.

My wheels are turning. I figured I woudl hyphen and do what my mom and step dad did. ladies get both and guys stay the same. but now this equal partnership thing really has me thinking. not sure our names work as well as you and hunter's do but maybe...looking forward to part 2 Brilliant! absolutely Brilliant! the only thing is that was the one thing I thought we had figured out and now you went and did this.

I decided that I will keep my name after the boy and I marry, but I would only hope that my fiance would be as forward-thinking as your guy. And you know what? I really think he would. So, smiles all around. What an amazing guy that Hunter. I decided that I will keep my name after the boy and I marry, but I would only hope that my fiance would be as forward-thinking as your guy.

I decided long ago (never to walk in anybody's shadow...sorry...couldn't resist) that I would keep my own name. For one thing I have three Ricky Retarded brothers of whom only one has married! So part of me feels like it would be a nice homage to my family. Plus, it's just who I am. It's not the nicest name, but it's who I am. Plus, A.P. has the most mundane name ever. BORING. But yes, I feel you on the decision making process. I've never had so many damn arguments in my entire life than I have had about the name change! Sigh. I heart that story.

I have many nicknames- all which center around my last name. Everyone keeps asking me, can we still call you mollie d, can we still call you divo? They better, I say. It's too many syllables to hyphanate- my last name will be like 20 letters, and I think it's confusing for kids if you have two different last names.<br /><br />Sigh....why can't the tradition be the boys take the girls name???

I have been musing about this for a while myself. I always thought I would just keep my last name I like it and it's my identity... it's me. My fiancee comes from a very large Irish Family and he's very proud of his family history, is a bit traiditonal in some ways. He very much wanted me to change my name, but supported whatever decision I made. We both assumed I would keep mine, but as the wedding got closer I started to change my mind. His family has taken me in. I really feel like I am part of them. Plus I like his last name. When I showed him my sheet of practice signatures with my soon-to-be-new name, he started to tear up. It was very sweet. But professionally, I am keeping my maiden name, so it's a good compromise and a way for me to retain my own identity, while still merging with his family. How sweet!
