I like mine better because it is unique (and yes, people say it wrong too) and is very cultural. I am excited to be a Mrs. FI's Last Name though!

I like my last name a TON better.  His is so so common and mine has a lot of family heritage behind it.  Plus all my nicknames from friends involve my last name and it fits so well, I love the meaning of it, etc etc.  I'm SO attached. 

So of course, I still haven't decided exactly what to do :)

I like both our last names and they are both "cultural" - one is Irish and the other is Swedish. His is shorter and much easier to pronouce, which is a good thing. Plus, it makes my initals "CDN" so I can say I'm tried and true Canadian. (haha.)

Can I say neither? :) We both have last names that are difficult for people to pronounce and very easily misspelled. I use my middle name for business so I will continue to do so after we get married. I'm taking his name because like Mrs. Bee, I like the idea of our family all having the same last name but I'm really just trading apples for apples. Haha!

I like mine way better!  His is twice as long and he always has to spell it.  Mine isn't too common, but it's a boy's first name so it's easy enough for people to spell. 

I am going to change my name to his though.  Like another poster said, he was actually upset when I joked that I would keep my name.  My new last name begins with the last letter of my first name, so they sort of run into each other.  Like my mom's grade school friend, Frances Snyder - my mom thought her name was Frances Nyder for YEARS!! 

I love my maiden name because I never have to spell it.  My first name is so unique that it's tough enough having to spell out 8 letters.

But, I hated that my first name ends with an n and my maiden name started with an n.  It didn't flow.

Even though ny husband's last name is hard to spell/pronounce, it's beautiful and I wanted it to be the same.

Our last names are both very common and plain, so it won't make a huge difference to me.  Mr. Chai has an Irish last name, and here in Boston, probably the most Irish-populated city in the US, I swear one in every ten people has his last name. But I do like his last name and intend to change my name.

One thing, though...my maiden name is Campbell, and I will sincerely miss saying "Campbell, like the soup," whenever someone asks for my last name, hahaha.

I kind of like his better because it's hard to mispronounce it. My last name RARELY gets pronounced correctly, so hopefully after we're married I won't have to deal with it anymore!!!

I like my last name better. It will be hard for me to give up my last name- since it is obviously hispanic while my fiancé's name is clearly chinese. :o( I would like to hyphenate it. But like many other ladies out there, they want their last name to be the same as the kids... Then again, perhaps my poor children will suffer the hispanic way of having every single family last name of origin following their first name (I'm totally kidding- don't jump on me.)

although i will be taking my fiance's last name, i still like my last name better because it makes my full name ethnically ambiguous. it's also shorter/easier to spell :)

 I like mine better.  Theres alot of history behind my last name , and nothat his name isn't nice ut it dosn't flow very nice with my first name.  I'm taking his name as my last now , but just adding it on.

I love our last names equally!

Both are very European (mine is French, his is Dutch) and both always get mucked up in pronunciation! His is way more unique than mine though... so bonus points there! ;)

That's a tough question. Mine is super unique and identifiable. I never liked it growing up because its long and sounds funny. But now I'm having trouble with the idea of parting with it.

Mr. G's last name is very common and short. I like the simplicity of it, but it sounds funny with my first name. We are still undecided as to what to do.
