I remember when I was actually dating, I thought, hmmm, could I marry this guy? is it a name that suits mine?
I mean, ok. I'm Rosie. What if the love of my life was called John Palm?
ROSIE PALM. I'd have to have 5 daughters.
But seriously, it made me think about last names. Here are some questions for you
- would you/did you change your last name if/when you married?
- if you could choose your own last name, what kind of names do like the sound of?
and finally
- I heard of one woman called Marilyn, and her husband's last name was -seriously- monroe. So she kept hers. What names would be hilarious/disastrous with your first name? if you really really loved the guy, would you keep your own name? or hyphenate?
To answer my own questions -
- I would change my last name. I think it's quite special and romantic to do this. There are only limited cir***stances under which I would keep my own name
- I really like names that are ye-olde english - carter, hart, archer, rose (although that one totally wouldn't work for me), I can cope with last names that are fairly boring, brown, green, white etc.. and I also like italian last names! Bellagio, Montepulciano, Morelli, they sound hot!
- There are quite a few that I'd like to avoid - o'donnell (LOL, obvious!), palm, like I said, cheeks, chin... haha, you get the picture.
I really don't like names that sound aggressive - slaughter, butcher, etc, but I guess it would sound even worse hyphenated with my last name than it would by itself....
SO! Your turn!
