Do you like your DH's...

last name?  I think I married a man w/ a pretty good last name especially since I hated my maiden name.  Do you like your "new" last name better than your maiden name? 

Re: Do you like your DH's...

  • Nope.  I hyphenated, and I wish I would have lived with a hyphenated name socially before changing it legally.  It's a major PITA, and I wouldn't do it again.  I LOVE my maiden name and the only reason I added DH's was so part of my name could be like our children's.

  • It's fine.  One short German last name to another.

  • I was so happy to be married out of my maiden name. I was ridiculed relentlessly in school for my maiden name. Besides the fact that no one can spell my married name right, I absolutely love it!

  • I like either. My married name is shorter which is nice.

  • Long Italian maiden name no could pronounce or spell to a medium Irish/Scottish married name no one can pronounce or spell.
  • I really liked my maiden name. My married name is very common and boring.

  • Nope, but it doesn't matter since I kept my own last name. I would have kept my own name even if I liked his. DS's second middle name is my last name, and he shares a last name with his dad, which is fine by me. :)

    This exactly. My maiden name was very unique.

  • It's perfectly fine. No one pronounced my maiden name correctly, so I thought I was getting rid of that annoyance. Nope. Somehow, this seemingly easy name is difficult for some people. Ugh.

  • I really like my maiden name, and I really like my married name. I didn't want to hyphenate because of the PITA factor, so I made my maiden name a second middle name and took DH's. That way it's still legally there, but not used socially.

  • Yes.  I love that I don't ever have to spell it for people.  They just know.  Not so w/ my maiden name.

  • Meh. I went from a hard to pronounce/spell French name to  an apparently hard to spell/pronounce German name (i don't think so but you should hear some of these interp's we get) At first i hated  my new name but im getting used to it
  • Love it! This is my second marriage and I had a an 11 letter last name with no repeating letters (LOL imagine spelling that every time on the phone) left over from my first marriage and now my last name is only 5 letters.
  • I went from a French name to another French name. Haven't legally changed it yet though (hard to do when you live out of the country).

  • I hated my maiden name. Nobady said right & it was so uncommon. I love my new last name! It's so normal!

  • Yes!  Common and easy.  There's only two different ways to spell it.  My maiden name was ugly, IMO and it came from my dad who I never got along with (to put it nicely).  I really wish that I could have had my mom's maiden name.  It is a great Irish surname and all of my family has that name except for us two.  If it had been my surname I would have insisted that DH change his last name to mine, which he said he would've done.  But, alas, it just would have been a little too far out for us to both change our last names to my mom's maiden name!
