    Yes, I plan to change my last name to his. It will be nice to have a name that is a little easier for others to spell/pronounce.

    I'll be taking his last name, making my maiden name my middle name and smashing my current legal first and middle name (Brandi Deana) in to my first name to legally be Brandeana (since everyone has called me it my whole life anyway!).

    I will be taking his name. I want to cut ties with my biological dad and am gladly giving up his last name.
