I am NOT asking or wanting to know yours,,, but what does yours mean to you?

Is it pride that you belong to a family blood line.. is it security that youve made roots into another family? Does it mean nothing..

I just had a great indepth natter about mine and i feel a bit lost.. it means nothing to me, there is no bloodline or heritage.. just a series of letters that helps identify me.

Long for the day where i can meet someone, marry and feel a part of something great.

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

Mine is the last generation that will have this surname in my family, as all our kids have their fathers surnames. Not that bothered really, although its an unusual name and would be sad for it to go completely.

All it ever is, is a series of letters which helps identify a person.

I'd also say don't look for marriage and a man to define who you are. Be proud of yourself, and attach that pride to your surname if you have to ha!

Mine was given to me by my adoptive parents, so it's a heavy link to that for me and what that means I guess, that plus the fact it's a cool name that doesn't sound like it belongs to this face make me quite like it, you don't see many red bearded christos's in the world

Beats what my name would have been if I wasn't conceived for adoption...it would have been 'naylor'

no matter

My surname is my husbands. I have used it for nearly 43 years. Means nothing to me. THe line ends with our children as they dont intend to have kids. Thats it really.

My maiden name I used for about 11 years then I took on my stepfathers name till I was 18 then reverted to my real name till I married.

The Monypenny name is very old French I loved that name as a teenager. Was different and memorable.

I'm pretty nonplussed about mine. Although it's my maiden name I don't feel closer to my family because of it and I don't feel it defines me in any way. I'm curious about the family history but not obsessively so. I think i may have felt differently had i married, taken someone else's name and had kids.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

It's relatively easy but people spell it wrong (sometimes for their own amusement) pronounce it in strange and complicated ways and I often have to say it again.

I'm fairly indifferent about my father and it's strange the pride he has in the name given that he was estranged from his father for so much of his life.

I own it as my name. I take pride in it for what I have achieved and that my life and achievements are recorded by that random grouping of letters that identify me. It's memorable.

Did you know that you can call yourself whatever you like. If you marry and change your surname your true name remains the same as the one on your birth certificate. That's why you have to put your maiden name on legal documents.

Alternatively, change it by deed poll. Then it becomes official.

I have a polish last name and I quite enjoy it being very unique but I have no polish family that I care about and am estranged from my dad who gave the name. I like that it is still the same as my mum's name and that I have a link to her while she hasn't remarried. But I still wouldn't change it as it's my identity. Unlikely to ever change upon marriage either as I don't believe in it. E.
