I have an aunt who changed her maiden name to her middle name and her kids are all named the same way, but her husband has conspicuously not done so and it makes me sad. <br />You guys made a great choice.

And although it would still be a perfect solution, I'm glad that family is happy with it. What a wonderful compromise!

Pretty much, my name is Jennifer Jones Perez Mitchell. <br />'Jennifer Jones' is my full first name.<br />Perez is my Middle name, and Mitchell is my last.. When I was learning how to write in gradeschool, it was nice being able to practice with such a long name-- lately, i just use the middle initial. <br /><br />Oh! And if/when i were to get married, i asked my parents and supposedly i'm supposed to drop my 'middle name/initial' (P). I have no idea what i'm gooing to do. hah...<br /><br />anyways, your guys' names rock both individially and together (with the invisible hyphens). In filipino custom (or at least in my family) our names are as follows.

WifesFirstName&LastName + HubbsFirstName&LastName = ChildsFirstName WifesLastName HubbsLastName.

In fact, you can give them any last name you please! My significant other and I have decided that at least one of our future children will have my maiden name as their last name. That way, my name gets continued one more generation as well as his!<br /><br />Just a thought! What a great compromise…

Compromise is vital to great relationships. I will say this, after a couple years of marriage, I wish I had waited until a few months after marriage to change my name, instead of doing it right away. I would have kept my maiden name as my middle name and not given it up so easily. As for in laws, mine are loving and supportive but they still don't put our wishes above theirs. The hubby is really good about making sure I know I'm first, even in those really nasty insecure moments I have periodically. You know those moments, where you want to take your ball and go home without letting anyone play. Way to go! Compromise is vital to great relationships.

There's also the option of using it as a second middle name for each of your children. I actually think that would be pretty cool! I know tons of people that have a first name and two middle names.
