It’s all in the name

Inspired by the other threads about names,

Have you changed, or would you change your name to your spouse’s as part of a marriage?

Two sisters I know married (not each other) and took their husbands’ names as their middle names and kept their family names.

Also I know a man who took his wife’s name as his middle name.

Is this a thing?

No it's just pointless.

Yes, I think I would seriously consider it.

It's a thing. It's a good thing.

I took my husband's name. Our eldest was born before we married, I wanted us all to have the same name

"No it's just pointless."

Why?

I knew someone who took his wife's name because he didn't get on with the rest of his own family.

A point well made, I think

I took my husband's name because I got sick of people mis-spelling and pronouncing my maiden name wrong

This is one of the reasons I changed my surname when we got married too. I like that we all share the same name and can be identified as a family unit.

My fiancé is taking my name when we get married.

Mine is quite a unique name and means a lot to me, and his is quite a common one so he doesn’t mind!

I was planning on keeping my own surname when I was engaged, it's unusual and I like it

But will he keep his name too?

So he will be mr Ordinary Unique?

I wouldn’t take someone else’s name myself but each to their own and if others choose too that’s not a problem for me.

Yes, I’ve never come across anyone named mars. And a small “m” too.

But maybe it would take a little getting used to?
