Mine will be both longer and much harder for people to pronounce- I am going from Miller (couldn't be much easier) to Davidovic (Duh-Vid-O-Vick).
I am extremely excited to take his last name though and have become a professional at spelling it slowly for people.

Same length, same letters, same name! Just sort of lucked out that way! That was a funny ice breaker between us in the in between stages of friends and turning our relationship into something more!

Longer and more difficult to pronounce- from a 6 letter, compound word to a 10 letter Polish “-ski”. He frequently makes reservations under a fake name so as not to bother spelling it out. But I’ll take it!
