So, I know there are about a million questions about name changes on this forum, because I've probably read at least half of the discussions.
I am 100% taking my husband's last name (we got married about a month ago). It's important to him and I really wasn't too bothered about changing mine.
I have never had a middle name. I don't know why, but was just never given one (my brother doesn't have one either, so it wasn't something my parents did just for a girl, thinking I would move my maiden over to middle). My last name is very Spanish (my dad is Colombian, and we have a very traditional, Hispanic sounding last name - it also happens to be 9 letters and 3 syllables, so it is quite long).
I'm torn on whether I should make my very long, Spanish last name my middle name. My first name is already quite long, so this would mean my full name is Daniela Vxxxxxxxx Mxxxxx. My maiden name and my husband's last name don't really go together, as he is a McSomething and his name is very Scottish.
So my question is - what are the pro's of keeping your maiden name as your middle name? Any con's of dropping it entirely (meaning I would still not have a middle name, and I would just be MyFirst HisLast)? I know this is a personal decision, but I need help! I don't know what to do. My husband doesn't really care if I keep my maiden as my middle or drop it entirely - he has no preference as long as I take his last name
