Is anyone double-barrelling their surname?

God no!!! I've been waiting to get rid of my name for ages as it's a nightmare to pronounce and spell. But nothing against people who do x

Mine would be Dicken-Steele or Steele-Dicken so if we did but they would sound really wrong so no I won't be.

Yes we will be! Our son already has both of our names (double barrelled) so me and my OH will both be chaging! We all want to be the same! x

No. My name is strange as is my o/h if we double barrelled them it would be sooooo funny.

A friend of ours did and i really like their new name!

im just going to do the old fashioned thing and take his name! Im actually quite looking forward to it!!

I am going to take his name, so much easier when giving my name over the phone!

NO! I can't wait to get rid of mine. At the mo it's Hollyoake. All I get is, is it like the programme, or when I was at school it was, are you related to the cricketer. Not only that but it would be too long. Hollyoake-Greatbatch / Greatbatch-Hollyoake.

A! Just remebered i'm trading one cricketer for another, Hollyoake for Greatbatch.

I changed mine and the kids names a while back and double barrelled them , OH can decide if he wants to join us , or just keep his own, i dont mind , im very attatched to my maiden name lol

Im just takin my OHs or else it would be woolley winder which sounds daft. Woolley and anythin else sounds daft

I'm taking my husbands as I don't want my children (hopefully some in the future!) to have really long names! I teach a girl at school with a double barrelled first and second name and its quite a mouth full and the other kids really notice and take the mickey!

We were going to as I have children from a previous relationship who have my surname but as I know my H2B secretly hates the idea I have agreed to take his surname and be different to my kids.

I'm taking his surname - really don't like my maiden name so it will be good riddance! As others have said, some names sounds great double barrelled, and it's a good idea if there are kids involved.

Nope because mine is already double-barrelled so it would be far too long!! If we lived in France I'd consider keeping one of my names with his but I've had to spell it out for 10 years so I can't wait to get rid of it!!

I have having a double- barrelled name, because my maiden is unusaly and the only ones with it are my family and there is only 12 of us. so I am keeping it to in a way carry on the family name because there is only 2 boys that could carry on the name.

I will be! I already have a double barrelled name, but no one in the family uses it, we just use the second half. My dad had no sons and I thought it would be sad for the family name to disappear when my sister and I married, so I will take back the first half of the double barrel but add my OH's surname instead.
