Hi Lovelies. I’m in a dilemma and I wanted to get some non biased opinions. Friends and family have not helped. Please let me know if I’m overthinking this or if my feeling are actually valid.
My name is Katie and I married a Perry. I am having a lot of trouble accepting the idea of being called Katie Perry. To me it feels like you hear that name and automatically think of the singer. Not me. My friends love it! I hate it....
My real name is Mary but the issue with that is A. I don’t want my name to rhyme like a children’s book and B. My husbands grandmother is named Mary Perry! I feel like I don’t have my own identity.
My mother in law goes by Kay so no use in shorting it or I’ll be her. I just don’t know what to do. I though of hyphenating but then my name would be Mary Katherine Hill-Perry. What a mouthful! Katie Hill-Perry isn’t so bad but Katie’s not my real name. Should I legally change it? I don’t go by Mary Katherine or feel like a Mary Katherine, but I’m sentimental. Am I overthinking this? Does my hatred for being called Katie Perry something I should just live with a hope to get over? I truly don’t know what to do and wanted to hear y’all’s opinions. What would you do?
Name thoughts:
Mary (First) Katherine (Middle) Hill (Last)Mary Katherine (First) Hill (Middle) Perry (Last) Mary (First) Katherine (Middle) Perry (Last)Mary (First) Katherine (Middle) Hill-Perry) (Last)Katie (First) Hill (Middle) Perry (Last)
