Anyone else really looking forward to changing their surname?

Well I'm the minority lol! I happen to rather like my surname and to change it to Lee... Well it's a first name not a surname I think he should be a modern man and take my name muahaha

I'm really looking forward to us having the same name and being a "family", but Jones isn't the most exciting surname to have! Saying that, my current surname is really common and not very exciting either!

We are two brides getting married so my lovely wife to be is kindly taking my surname : )

My dad has four girls so someone has to keep the family name going!!!

I can't wait!!!! Everytime I get asked to spell out my second name now, I always think in the back of my mind - "I won't have to do this when it's Jones!!"

Also, I'm forever assumed to be of German descent, when my Dad's family is Hungarian!

& I noticed the other day on the work schedule - they had my second name spelt wrong (the usual way that people assume it's spelt)

Don't know how they can manage this when they've seen my passport, driving licence & national insurance number!!

Rant over but I really do hate my surname, just 'cause of the ignorance of others!!! ?

I'm the total opposite, I'm going to end up with the most common surname in the entire friggin' world!! I'm going to have to think long &,hard about our children's names to give them something more interesting. It wouldn't work as a double barrel because my maiden name ends in S & his starts with it and the other way round mine starts Th & his ends th. Ah well.....

I can't wait to change my surname tbh. Will be a brand new start for me-I know it's a lot of work changing surnames on different things but as another girl pointed it it will make you feel secure!! ?

I cant wait our daughter has his name and I feel left out lol! Our surnames are ridiculously similar anyway!

Me!! Mrs. Christmas!!!

I can't wait to change mine! I'm going from quite a simple (although wouldn't say common) surname to one I'm going to have to constantly spell but from what I can see I'll be probably the one with my name! Always nice to be unique ?

I'm really looking forward to changing my surname to his as i want the world to know he's mine. Also i think it suits my first name better

I have to spell my surname now and will have to do the same when I am married.

Only difference is my new surname is pronounced oddly at times which some variations being another word for hooker. Its not a difficult name people are just stupid.

I also believe...quite badly....that being a MRS will give me a new respect within my profession as I am a tad young looking and I don't always getting taken seriously.

I cant wait to change my surname. i hate my surname for a starters it never gets spelt right plus its my dads name and i dont know him. and my new name will be shorter plus ill be married x

I'm looking forward to changing my name but not the hassle of doing it! Changed address twice in the last year and that was a painful & sometimes expensive process!

Currently have to spell my surname to people and will with my new one as well because there are 2 variations. I certainly won't miss people mispronouncing my surname - it's always the medical profession that get it wrong and always in a packed waiting room and the mispronunciation is not something you want shouted in front of other people!

I am one of 3 girls so our branch won't continue the name however I'm going to resurrect a family tradition and pass my, my mother's and FMIL's maiden names onto our children as middle names.

I'm looking forward to it as my current surname is really common, but with my married name I'll be the only one in the country! I'm not really sure if that's a good thing or not though...

Can't wait!

I like my surname now as it's quite unique. Although i am looking forward to changing, a fresh new start plus the start of my own little life ?.
