Anyone have trouble parting with YOUR last name?

At first super excited to become Mrs. P that it until I realized I won't Ms. B anymore then I became sad. I have decided to make FH last name my last name and just scoot my maiden name over. No hyphen just have bothe legally but I will officially be Mrs. P. He's ok with it and that made my decision a lil easier

I love reading all the feed back on this topic. Nice to know that I'm not alone on this and many women have various reasons to not want to part with their maiden name even if they want to also take their FH name as well. I am still undecided but I am leaning more towards just taking his last name and becoming Ginny K. - many families only have girls or no one to pass the name down. I think if it weren't for my losses I would def feel I'd go the traditional route and take FH last name. Maybe this will also be a step in letting go and moving forward. I feel a part of me is holding on to my last name bc it's what I shared with my brother (we have an older sister, different dad so diff last name).

I am having no problems whatsoever with parting with my last name. I don't want to hyphenate or use my maiden name as my middle name. My first name and middle name with his last name looks strange, but I just have to get use to it. I have had my name for over 20 years.

So I am in the same predicament. My father passed at 11, he only had me and I am the last in my family to bare the name since the rest of my family is deceased (I had aunts only) and my grandfather passed.

I am so torn, I do identify with my name. It's become who I am, all my memories and everything and my last ties to my father are through his name. It's bittersweet as I know my sweetheart wants me to take on his name as he is traditional but understands what I am going through. I don't know how to cope, I guess just reflect that I will always be his daughter with or without his name I guess.
