Hi i'm russel, my long term partner, colleen ( coli ) does not want to marry me purley because of my name. We have a son together, Brockley , he also is not keen for us to change anything.
I do understand her their concerns but coli says she would be embarresed if her name was called out at doctors or dentists etc.
My surname is Sprout, ok not the best name, but should it be reason enough for us not to become a familly. Her maiden name was cheaze and did not like that either, but said i can take her married name instead of mine, Florrette. I dont think names should be an issue.......

If I took this at all seriously I would be a fool at best..Brockley Sprout? Russel Sprout? If it was true though I'd take the name cause it would be cool in a humour sense.

I think this is really a very silly argument. If you two want to marry then you do, and you find a compromise with the name. In many countries there is no need for the spouses to change their names. And if she does not like your name, then why dont you take hers? or make up a new one that you both like? I mean... what the hell! are you going to let that get in the way to your goals? Think twice.

Names should NOT be an issue! There may be other things going on that she is using the last name excuse to cover her real reasons. Legally you can change your name(s) to anything you want. If I wanted to I could legally change my name to Elizabeth Smith, which is not something I want to do...but legally I could.
My husband and I have no issues with our last names. I am using my Maiden name along with his last name and my WHOLE last name. When is he ready he will take my maiden name and put it with his last name as well. A lot of couples combine last names as one. Or you could combine letters in both your last names and create a whole new last name.

Most brides don't have to change their last name anymore. It's becoming more and more popular these days. However, your partner should really accept all of you no matter what if you are going to have a healthy successful relationship.Names should definitely not be an issue. Good Luck!

Why don't you asked advice from your parents, Mr and Mrs. Turnip and Brussel Sprout (also known as your mum and dad).

names shouldnt be an issue
she doesnt have to change her name to marry you
i cant believe people have such clammy reasons for not marrying ! if you truly love someone what does it matter even if he was called Mr. Nutter !! :) LOL
sorry mate, but honestly i dont think she is serious about you.
when i got married i wasnt sure i wanted to change my name because i am professional and thought i would loose my identity if i changed it but eventually i changed to my husband's name as he is the most important person and i love booking tickets for Mr. and Mrs..............

Lettuce see.....I cannot produce a good answer to this. If she is really the apple of your eye, then the pear of you could get out of this pickle.
