When Ds1 was born i gave him my surname because i figured if we broke up i would have him the most and would make life easier...when we got married simply changed his name over and they changed the birth certificate name over too
DD is gonna have DPs surname simply because i hated my surname growing up (its Softly)....i got teased for it and having a slight lisp let me tell you it is the hardest name to try and spell to ppl especially over the fone!! i get mail saying miss fostly or postly or softley with an E in it ooooh i hate that one....DP has a nice surname too.
maybe if DD was gonna be a boy i might have thought about carrying on my surname as me and my siblings are the last of our name....we have no cousins or rellies with the same surname and my brother is highly disabled so will not be having kids.
but i reallllllllly hate my surname lol
Dusty - the idea of giving a girl my name occurred to me the other week and I flagged it with DP. He didn't seem perturbed, but then it was just an idea, not a definite plan. It's becoming a bit more concrete in my head since then, though
I have no intention of ever changing my name. I'm attached to it for various reasons. DS got DP's surname because I didn't object to it at the time (and still don't, really), as long as he scored an Irish first name (cos the names MiL was coming up with were just horrendous to me, and then, to complete my decision, she laughed at the Irish names I suggested because she'd never heard them...normally a very open minded person, she is!!).
i'm married, but our kids have my surname. it was dh's idea, but it's always seemed logical to me that kids have their mother's name. AND my name is long, foreign and difficult to spell! they can always change to their dad's later if they want to
