I was just reading a post about ladies who aren't too thrilled with their man's last name, and It just got me thinking. I personally LOVE my FI's last name and I can't wait to take it. I've actually always wanted to name my future son Mason. (Guess that's out now, lol.) So how do YOU feel about your husband's/FI's/SO's last name? Love it or hate it? Or somewhere in between?
MY last name is a mouthful and difficult, so his is definitely an easier one to manage, but it is still unique so I like it.
I love FI's last name, but I'm still not changing mine! haha
I had one of the most common maiden names in the world so for me I was thrilled to get rid of it and his is still a germanic last name so I like it, and it is still easy to spell and not crazy long or pronounce.
I love my maiden name; my married name isn't nearly as cool except for the fact that it's my married name, and I like that.
I voted I love it because I like it sooo much more than mine. My last name has made me the butt of countless boner jokes my whole life and I can't wait to get rid of it.
@tksjewelry: me too! My last name is Daniel and paired with my first and middle name I feel like my current name is super boring. I can't wait for it to change to Mason (I know Mason is still pretty simple, but I feel like it has a better ring to it. lol)
I love it--it's very common and simple to spell/pronounce, but not as common as Smith. When I take his name, I will no longer be Google-able, unlike now, when my unique name brings up me, me, me.
I love it :) His last name is incredibly Irish, and it suits my first name. Plus I'll make my initials JEM which is just freaking cool.
I don't like FI last name because it has a awkward -er at the end of it. Without the -er it is a nice last name, but FI doesn't want to drop it. I don't like my last name much either. I tried to convince FI to switch so we both change our names to my mom's maiden name, but he wasn't feeling that. Still not sure what I'm going to do.
I hate it. It's actually offensive to women. But I really want us and our kids to have the same name so we agreed to take what should have been his last name. His parents changed their name to avoid genocide in their country and never changed it back when they came to the US.
I hate it. But I did take his last name. There was no question about it. It was an important tradition to me (just as important as the wedding) and I would never not want to have the same last name as my husband or children.
Maybe it will grow on me?
@BayStateBride: now I'm curious as to what it is!!
I don't mind FI's last name, its nothing spectacular, but it's his name. :) I'll probably have to spell it out for people, but I have to do that now... even though my name seems super easy. AND a bonus, I won't be confused with a certain Bachelorette anymore!! yay. except then I will totally be googleable.
I love my new last name. Much better than the old one. Goes well with my first name!
I absolutely love it. It's actually how we met - I saw his name on his credit card receipt and told him how much I loved it. We got to talking and the rest is history :)
DH's nickname was "whore" because of his last name. Do you think I like it? Lol
But it is what it is and whether I changed my name or not I would still be called Mrs.
@roxy821: Oh goodness, lol. That SUCKS!
I get "mason jar" and "mason dixon" alot, but I guess that's better than whore. haha.
I love it!
However, it can be rhymed with Greasey, which I don't like and is annoying when people say that instead of what it actually is. Otherwise, I love it!
It's a great last name. So great that tens of millions of people have it and I cannot find a unique username/email for ANYTHING.
lol, maybe we should each put the name on here that we dislike (either maiden or married) and have people vote if it's as bad as we think! I've had some of my friends tell me my future married name is cute, but I really dislike it!
@MadameTussaud: my name isn't too terrible it's the phone conversations about what I'm actually saying my last name is that's frustrating. Or the random emails of "are you so and so from the bachelorette?! who did you pick!?" it's been a couple years since her season but I got them ALL THE TIME from random fans of the show while it was on.
I like DH's last name. It is way easier to spell/pronounce than my maiden name (which people always got wrong). I also think it goes well with my first and middle names.
LOVE my new last name. I had a double-barrel name with the same letter for first and last name before, which sorta made me feel like a TV personality or a porn star. Really like having a normal, easy-to-spell-and-pronounce-but-not-way-over-common last name. Feel like it really suits me!
@o0olibelulao0o: yeah, I can see where that would be really annoying! Who emails random people like that anyway?! There are some real weirdos out there!
I was thinking about putting my current last name as my middle name, then taking on my FI's last name, but then FI and his friends quickly figured out that my initials would be TRB... which turned into calling me "turb" and then "turd"... *sigh* There goes that idea.
Lol, guess I don't mind sharing my last name since it's in my username. I'm Mrs. Swank and he's Mr. Swank (no relation to Hilary as far as we know). I was nervous about giving up my maiden name because I come from a large family of cops and just about everyone around here knows the name. Also I can't get out of speeding tickets as easily anymore.
I love my new last name though, thanks to our friends. They all called my husband by his last name, either Swank or Swanky, all through high school. So now we're the Swanks, the Swanky's, Swank 1 and Swank 2, Swank the Tank and the Mrs. Lol, you get the idea. They all love that they can call us both by the same name.
True story: at our wedding reception one of our friends called out "Swank!" and we both turned to look at him. The whole table about died laughing and the friend was like "See? I told you it would work!"
Um, plus it makes me feel fancy :P
It's ok. I like my first name/last name combo better than my first name/his last name. My first name and his last name have the same number of syllables with the emphasis on the same syllable, and I don't think it sounds right, but he thinks it has a nice ring to it.
It's okay. It's Pennsylvania-Dutch and I find it to be a bit boring. It's really bland paired with my first name but my maiden name is very unique so I may just be biased.
My FI's last name is awesome and super Irish! I like to celebrate my Irish background too and we have already decided on Seamus or Liam for our first boy so Dunnigan will be perfect! It's much better than my Austrian maiden name!
I like his last name, it's a good solid name that isn't overly common, but is easy to spell and pronounce. However, it's not me, and since my first name is so common, I like having an obscure last name. So I'm not changing mine. But any kids we have I'm quite happy for them to have his last name.
I love his last name! Mine, although unique, is really weird, difficult to spell and I always have to explain to people how to pronounce it. His on the other hand, it short and very easy to pronounce and spell. According to http://names.mongabay.com/most_common_surnames.htm his last name is in the top 75 most common, and mine is 15,000 something. Plus I think his last name sounds great with my name and I can't wait until I can have it!
I like his last name, it's much easier to pronounce than my current last name. The only part I don't like is...I'll have the same last name as his mother and I'm not her biggest fan.
I do not like his current last name, but he's changing it within the next 5 years. Currently it's the anglicized version of his family name from Europe, but he wants to change it back, I wouldn't change my name to his if he kept his current name, but he is 110% on board and seems really excited for the change we'll both make one day.
I like FH's last name, I am excited to take his name so I don't have issues with my name spelling or pronunciation. I am currently fighting for frequent flyer miles because of the stupid space in my last name!
@red dino: wow, according to that my current last name is in the top 25 most common! Never would have thought that. FI's isn't even in the top 50,000 lol Very interesting site!
I like it just fine, but I still kept mine.
That was a little rhyme.
Would you like a peanut?
@Beluga: lol
Being Portuguese, I have one of the most popular last names so for me I do like FI's last name. Although his last name gets butchered ALL the time it will be nice to not have someone ask you "hey do you know so and so" just because of my last name lol
