    Slightly longer, but his last name is really common and easy to pronounce, unlike mine.

    Longer - 4 letters to 7! I'm also sad I am going from nearly the beginning of the alphabet (D) to closer to the end (S) but taking his name is important to me. Smiley smile

    Same - 6 letters. But less prone to mispronunciation or misspelling. And it'll be further down the alphabet.

    My last name will be 8 letters instead of 7 so relatively the same!

    The exact same! 6 letters before, 6 letters after. Lol. I also moved down 1 letter in the alphabet, but I like my FH so I'm not complaining too much. Smiley laugh His last name is also MUCH easier to pronounce, so that's a plus!

    Mine will be the same - 6 letters. It'll probably be pronounce incorrectly more than my maiden name, though.

    Mine will be longer by 2 letters but way harder to pronounce. I already have issues with people pronouncing my last name now so this will be fun lol
