Changing your last name?

raquel, on October 10, 2019 at 7:05 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 7
My fiancé has 2 dads. But he only considers his step father as his father. His step father has been there since he was a young child and really raised him and supported him with everything. His bio dad was kind of a piece of garbage to everyone and hasn’t been in contact with my fiancé or siblings.
We spoke about it between us and the family and he is changing his name!! So now we are both changing our name to something new and it feels more special than it would otherwise. It’s a big deal and I’m proud he was able to make the decision.
Future Mr and Mrs B!
instead of “F”

    I love this! That is awesome. It must feel good for your FH to get rid of that name

    He first had mixed feelings because he didn’t want to have a different name than his two brothers. But they were supportive of his decision and that helped him.

    My FH is a young widower. His father left his mom when he was really young, and as a result their relationship as adults isn’t super close. When FH married the first time, he and his late wife both changed their last names to his mom’s maiden name - which is the same last time I’ll be taking when he and I are married.

    Love this! A friend of mine did the exact same thing when she and her husband got married. His bio dad was basically non-existent in his life growing up and changed his last name to his stepfather's instead.

    I would recommend that you look into your local laws about changing names and marriage certificates. Here in MD it meant less work in headache for my friend's husband to change his name first before the wedding, then hers afterwards.

    In CA he would have to change his name first in order to make it an option for you to change your name to it.
