Sad to say goodbye or happy to be changing your name?

I was SO happy to say goodbye to my maiden name. It has a bad history with it, and marrying my husband was really a new chapter in my life. I married into a family that cares so much and say their name with such pride. I'm happy to be one of them.

I am really excited to switch my last name!! My maiden name is super generic so I’m looking forward to being able to have accounts with just my name (no numbers) for the first time in my life - I already got a new email account and Instagram currently has it available too I just need to get used to my new signature, since it’ll be a little longer than my current one!

I’m excited to change it! It’s gonna be weird at first, but exciting!

Hahahahaha I have mixed feelings. My maiden name is Hadik (haa-dick) so, I received A LOT of phallic nicknames in high school (Jordynn Had-a-dick or when people mispronounce it “Hey! Dick!” I also got comments about the fish haddock a lot too). So I’m sooooo happy to be saying goodbye to that. However, as you can see, my first name is spelled uniquely, so right now I have to constantly spell out my first name & last. I was hoping to get a last name where I don’t have to do that anymore, but my FH last name is Pohlman and people spell it wrong constantly. I also don’t think Jordynn Pohlman flows nicely, but I’ll get used to it.

Not changing mine! I love my name, my dad only has daughters so it's dying out with me, and I'd like to keep the same name as my degrees!

Sad to say good by! My last name is Purdy his Aikey.. It is just sooo disappointing to go from perty to achey!

It’s bittersweet, I love my maiden name and because my family are cattle ranchers I love that my current last name is attached to our brand and all the history of that. But I am so excited to take my FH’s last name and luckily I get to stay with the same letter so my initials stay the same just Ward to Welsh.

View Quoted Comment Ward is my mom’s maiden name! And she switched to Hadik for some reason I can’t understand 😂😂😂

I love my maiden name but I’m excited to share a last name too

I don’t speak to my parents or my entire dad’s side, so good riddance. Excited to finally share a last name with my daughter!

So ready to change my name! Finally had a chance to get to the courthouse to get a copy of our marriage certificate. Went online to make an appt at the DMV and the quickest I can get one is Feb 11! So I guess I have to wait. Grrrr!

I love my last name and it's bittersweet to lose it but my soon to be new last name has a funny story....FH's last name is Cullen and I was (embarrassingly) obsessed with twilight when I was in high school so my friends love to tease me that I actually "bagged" a Cullen 🙈

Can I say both? I really don't want to give up any part of my current name but I really want to have the same last name as my FH. So I'm moving my current last name to be a second middle name and sticking FH's last name on the end

Omg, I love this.

I'm excited to change my maiden name, but sad because my younger brother and I share that name. We're like a clan.

I’m so excited to change it. My current last name holds nothing but bad memories. I will miss signing my old name just cause now I have to think before I sign. It won’t just flow from me lol

I'm so excited to have his last name! I have 3 brothers so there's plenty of chances for our last name to stick around. It'll so weird at first but I can't wait!

I’ve decided to keep mine! I have 3 degrees in my last name and I am the only child in the family. My partner has been incredibly supportive of the decision.

I like the way your last name will sound with your first name!! Before you know it, it will become natural

I can totally relate to the last name jokes...my last name is the same as the French skunk Pepe le Pew. Needless to say, I can't wait to change it!

I’m so excited! Unfortunately, I will be my family’s last hope of carrying on my last name, which is kinda weird to think about, but I’m ready to start my own family ❤️
