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!!).
