I changed my name when we married... but it made things harder cause now i have to spell eveytime because its spelled different than sounds.....

We had a client come in the other day with the last name hoar. We also have two with the last name butts.... and you wouldnt believe what their first names are hahaha

 
I'd gladly take my husband's last name - but I'd reconsider if it was something like D*ck or whatever. That's a no.

I'd keep my last name as maiden. I dunno, on all our families birth certificates have maiden names... so my current last name would be my maiden and I'm fine with that. I don't think many last names would sound even slightly okay with my first name besides my current last name. What sounds good with Celia? Unless I marry a hispanic dude with a generic last name like Martinez or something.

A bad last name besides something vulgar would be Cruz. Celia Cruz... that's pushing it.

Anders, buckingham can suit you! It just makes you sound like royalty or something, haha.

Nury - Lumberjack is the most awesomest last name. I want it myself. Celia Lumberjack. Haha.

 
I like my last name so I'd want to keep it in some form. I always have to tell people how to spell/pronounce it since it's unusual but that's why I like it.

I just got married and I'm keeping my last name. If I changed it I would lose my SUPERHERO identity! Lol, no joke, I share names with a Marvel comic book hero with a fro (and a porn star, but we don't need to go into that). Besides, his last name rhymed with my first name and that just would have been dorky. He doesn't care about his name anyway and joked about taking mine. Changing names is a PITA though and not worth it to either of us.

 
Hmmmmm... i'd actually like my partner to take MY last name haha - is that possible?! I think he would actually prefer it too to be honest..
 
My last name is Rayner.

I like it,so no reason to change it, though I would also have liked to have had a Maori last name, purely to keep my culture.

 
I'm the only child and all my cousins are girls...so most likely if we were to marry, one of us would have to keep our last name or else there would be no more of the Lau family *gasps* Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating. I'm sure there's more Lau's...but it's rare in the US.

I would hate to have a funky last name though. I remember this girl in my class baked cupcakes for a bake sale, but apparently the sprinkles she put on top of the icing melted, so it looked kinda funky...So one person asked "who made it? Looks like Doody" Funny thing was I started cracking up because her name is Dorothy Doody, so I said "yea, it's from Doody indeed"

Haha, although this isn't a last name my manager who worked at Jcrew is named Karamoko. It's African, and the funny thing is in spanish "Cara" means face and "Mocco" means booger, so pronunciation wise he's Booger face! We all started calling him that at work. The great thing is he's not upset about it, but he gives you this longing stare like "don't even think about calling me that again"

I plan to change my name when I get married, but if he had a bad last name I wouldn't change it. For example, I knew a girl with the last name Cock. There's no way I'd have that for my last name. She married a guy who's last name was Butcher, which is heaps better than Cock.

 
No one could pronounce my maiden name... I didn't even say it correctly (being a first generation American, I learned my last name as my teachers tried to pronounce it). Now my last name is now Smith. Jen Smith... the ASIAN Jen Smith. hahaha

I find it funny.

But I can make reservertions and not spell it out, or have people ask me to repeat it a hundred times and still butcher it.

 
i did change my name when i got married.

i worked with a guy once whos' name was jim sidyck. at a work function he got drunk and started manhandling his girlfriend. that's when i thought that his name really fit him perfectly!

 
lol, monnie, if only people really did have last names that fitted their personalities...

I'd be Rosie perfect brilliant stunning gorgeous... er.. NOT!

LOL

you certainly WOULD, darling, and i'd be monnie hotsie totsie! lmao~
 
I took my hubby's name when I got married. I liked my maiden name but my married name, though longer, is easier for people.....only that I don't think my first name goes well with it, I love it!

 
I would NEVER change my last name. Im too used to it and feel that it does make me who i am. I'm a real femenist about that haha. I actually really like my last name and in spanish it means lambchop lol. I don't however like my first name (Its just weird! well to me anyway...I was named after someone on Beverly Hills 90210...real nice on my parents part :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />). Idk im not even big on the whole being married idea. maybe it's because im young but if i ever did i would maybe hyphenate my last name, eventhough it be annoying to write on papers and checks and stuff. I liked how someone mentioned people should both hyphenate their names because both are receiving and giving a name to the other person.

 
Mexican people use all of their last names so no worries for me. When me and my bf get married my last name will still be used. It's here in the states that the husbands last name is always used. That always irks my mom!

 
I'm going to bump this thread. Some of the names in here were just too hilarious not to read a second time!

SO! n00bies! let's see what you've got to say about this issue

When we got married, I never thought twice about taking my hubby's last name.

Some people said I went from bad to worse as far as going from my maiden name to his name. Both of them are hard to pronounce and spell. Hey, maybe I should've hyphenated it and freak everyone out!

Gusrang-Szelc, lol. Should have done it.

In high school, there were two girls with last name of Hoare. And I girl I worked with her name is Cox.

A friend of mine married Tom Kruse. Spelled a little different but I am sure it gets her a lot of attention!!
