Changing your name

She will be taking my name or keep her own. I’m ok with either.

I would love to take my FH last name, Toogood. But, unfortunately because I am a Quebec resident I legally can't.. so I will take his name socially!

I’ll be taking his name. Not personally into hyphenating. Can’t wait to be Mrs. Allan!

I haven’t decided yet. I was gonna put both but I haven’t put much thought into it.

I'll be taking his name. I originally wanted to hyphenate, but I don't want to do an official name change on my birth certificate. Taking his name will also be easier in the long run (I think) for introductions, travelling, kids, etc.

I'll be taking his last name, but probably not right away. I just renewed both my passport and driver's license within the last 2 years lol. I'll probably wait a couple of year (at least) before investing in new ID cards hahaha.

Definitely taking his last name, we have 3 kids who already have his last name because they are his kids. It just makes sense their mama has the same last name😀 lol

IF I change anything I’m going to hyphenate. I haven’t figured out this part yet 😊

I'll be taking my FH's name and that is probably what I am most excited about! I can't wait to be Mrs. Whyte!

I would REALLY like to hyphenate my name, but my FH is not a big fan of this idea...
He wants me to take his last name and get rid of mine completely, but my last name is so ME. Everyone knows me and calls me by my last name, I don't want to lose it!

We're combining our last names to a totally new one - so we're going through the full legal name change process lol. We haven't discussed if we're gonna do it ASAP or wait until passports expire (his 2021, mine 2022).

Mine's Hauser and his is Neufeld and we're combining to Neuhauser!

I can’t wait to change my name! i’ve never felt any particular attachment to my name, so it won’t be a big deal

I’m changing my name to his 😊So excited! What I don’t understand is the process. I’ve looked at the paper work for the marriage certificate and it says to put your name before marriage so that won’t show my new name. And the marriage licence also had my current name. Does the marriage certificate just count because it says “me old name married this name.”

I will be changing my last name to Rachael’s and I can’t wait to start the process

Yepppp me too. I basically JUST got my 10 year passport renewed.. sooo I will wait on that change.

I took his last name, and have slowly started the process of changing everything. Emphasis on the slooooooowly. There's so much to change! Passport will for sure be last though, I only have a year left on it.

Definitely taking his last name. As for the process of changing all the documents, passport will probably be last just because I have 8-9 years till it expires 😭

100% keeping my own name.

I’m going to tatoy my husbands last name. Just have to wait the 12 weeks before I can do so

I’m going to be taking my FH’s last name but I am going to be keeping my last name as a second middle name. My last name is unique and has family history so I want to keep it. It’s important to me that we both have the same last name as our kids so this was the best way I could think to do that.

I’m taking my fiancé’s name. I am traditional in that regard. Our kids have his name too so I’m going to be applying for the name change right away. Can’t wait until I have the same last name as everyone in my family lol

I'll be taking his last name but slowly. I still have 5 years left on my passport, so I'm in no rush to change anything lol.

I will be taking my FH's last name.

The process to change names hasn't started yet. I will be waiting until we come back from our Honeymoon before I start changing things!

I will be taking my FH's last name - of course he still has to change his...

He currently has his Mom's last name so he has to get his last name changed to his Dad's (always wanted to but never got around to it). That should be done pretty fast as when you mail it in it may take months but when you go in to the place it only take a few weeks tops.

Then I will be taking his new last name of Doll

I will be taking my partners name! I won’t need to start the process for a while !

I'm taking my partner's name.. I'm actually really excited. When got our marriage license they gave us some paperwork with info on how to change names.. I won't bother with my passport or anything until I have to renew it though.. too much. I will change it at work and on my license for now.
