Do you feel a little sad about losing your last name?

🙋🏽‍♀️Yes, a little sad over here... will definitely take Lots of getting used to

Heck no! I have a hyphenated last name (parents never married) so I CANNOT WAIT to drop it lol.

Yes and no! i think i'm a little more sad losing my middle name (mom's maiden name). i wanted to hold onto that name because my mom passed away 2 years ago but if i keep it, my name will be REALLY long lol

I do!! I only have nieces... I'm the only one that has boys and only 1 of my sons has my last name.. so in the next generation hes the only one that can carry on the name... I asked my FH if I could hyphenate my last name.. now my last hope is my son has plenty of sons

Very!! I am actually keeping my last name as a second middle name. It'll be a lot of work as far as the paperwork and stuff is concerned but it makes me feel better knowing that I still have that piece of me.

My maiden name is always mispelled! His is much easier! Lol I did consider keeping my maiden name though (under middle name spot) but then realized it would just take me about 6 months to get used to my married name and then life continues on! I think it will really hit when i update my drivers license!

Nope, I cant wait to get rid of mine

You can always hyphen it if you dont want to lose it. No ones making you do anything.

I don’t feel that at all, but it’s only because my last name is my biological dad’s last name and we don’t have any relationship at all. I’m excited to take my FH’s last name because I think I’ll finally feel like I belong somewhere.

I've been married with my husbands last name now for 5 months. It's still hard to remember to say my "new name" instead of "old name" but I have no regrets. I do catch myself sometimes but I think it really depends on who you are. Even thought that's my dads last name, his grandfather was adopted into the family, so it's not our "real" last name anyways, not in my mind. So it's okay, and nothing has changed between my dad and I just because we no longer share the last name. We are just as kooky as we were before

I'm still a year out from my wedding and I already feel kinda sad about this! Definitely feels like losing part of myself after having my last name for (what will be) 29 years. And since my dad only has girls and my uncle never had kids, our last name has basically died out

Will for sure make it my new middle name after the wedding so I don't lose it entirely!

Yes and no.

Yes because my dad has passed away and I love having that connection to him ( I know I don't need his last name to have that)

No because I am so excited to have the same last name as him and our daughter especially since she is so excited for it

I haven't decided yet what I'll do. I really love my last name. Its very Irish and I always said I'd only change it if i married someone with an awesome last name. Well, FH also has a really good Irish last name (Both start with Mc--) so now I'm torn. I'm thinking I'll keep mine though. I'll be 38 by the time we get married. I've just had mine for so long I can't imagine changing it. If i do change it I won't even have to change my signature, they're pretty similar haha.
