Question

Those of you who are married  did you change your surname? 
I'm a bit of a feminist and as a teacher I get called by my surname all day every day and I worked hard at my degrees to have that happen. My OHs surname wouldnt suit a double barrel either

Reading these comments it’s crazy how much things change over time! Usually it’s a woman who takes their partners surname but it’s soo nice to see people changing it up and doing what suits them! xx

I didnt think I would but I did. When it came down to it I wanted us (kids too) having same name. Although I still haven't gotten around to changing it on some things 😂

Amy · Answer

I kept my surname and my husband took my surname 🤗🥰 
Our children also have my surname not his (his other son has his surname).

Beth · Answer

My surname isn’t the one I was born with

It was changed via adoption

And I don’t really have an connection/emotional attachment to it

So for me even though I’m for keeping your surname as a woman

I wouldn’t mind mine changing 😊 I’ve always said I’d keep mine but with my current partner I will be changing mine to his at some point (not marriage but deedpoll)

Mine too, mine isnt my maiden name it was my stepdads name once my mom married him, but I've had it since I was 4 and I feel like because I've seen it on every certificate I've ever achieved its "mine"

@stacey1991, Awe you do what you feel comfortable with hun!

When I was adopted I had the choice of keeping my previous one or changing it and I chose to change it :)

But thinking back now I wish I kept it :)

The woman that adopted me passed away 3 years ago so yeah I don’t feel a need to keep it

I’ve also never liked it lol 😆

I like my partners surname ❤️😊

He’s going to adopt Maya at some point so hers will also change but I could also change hers by deedpoll too xx

Joy · Answer

I changed mine, but I think if I had a fancy profession where I had established my maiden name I would have kept it. That said it took maybe a week to switch over my name at the bank, Dr's, work ect.

I changed mine. I was Smith, now Bodell. It was legally changed on the day and I just had to change my bank account and at the doctors etc. Wasn’t difficult.
You don’t have to change your name if you don’t want to. When you give your notice they will ask you if you want to change your name. It’s entirely up to you x
