Hello everyone,
I am in a bit of a pickle as I don’t know what my name is going to be. I have been told to be a “good southern woman” that I must have my last name be my new middle name but since it is 8 letters long with a hard T and my new last name is going to be 4 letters. (Not a lot of balance, I just want my name to flow and sound pretty)
I have always loved my middle name, it is so pretty and celebrates my grandparents on my mom’s side who have passed away. I was very close to both of them.
I had mentioned it to my mom just as an idea and she was genuinely upset that I would drop my last name. She is the more calm of my two parents as well and I don’t want to insult my dad by not taking the name. There is already inner family drama (stupid reasons might I add) on my dad’s side and I don’t want to upset anymore.
Please any advice helps.
