I have a question about taking the gooms name?

Question

If you are the bride and the groom had a name like patio, roof, stairwell, gutter, etc.
Would you take his name?
What if you could add one or two letters to the grooms name and it would a cool name!??!
Would or should you change it (both of you together)
It would save your future children being made fun of !!
Would you do it??
Why or why not?
Then both of you COULD change it to the cool name.


Here is another idea....
Put the two names together with brides last name such as:
patiotaylor,roofmiller, patiosmith, stairwellmiller etc.
This is a real question!!
Thanks for your thoughts!!!

I really want our new and future family to have the same last name.

Answer 1

I only know of one family (husband, wife and their two teenage children) who changed their last name. He found his biological father and wanted the entire family to go in on the name change thing.

It was quite expensive, but in the end they were all happy since they embraced the newly found biological father of the husband.

I've never met anyone who wanted to change his/her name based solely on the sound or connotation before.
Which means absolutely nothing I suppose. It would depend on how desperate I was to change my last name.

I've also met a few people (mostly women) who have hyphenated their last name with the husband's last name.
Also, one women who divorced and remarried. She hyphenated both divorced husband's names.

Answer 2

Well, first of all, you have to ask him if he's comfortable changing his last name, even if it is just a few letters. If he's ok with itm then why not. If he doesnt like the idea (his parents may also be offended) then maybe you should stick with your last name. When you have children, you can give them both your last names, that might help if you're afraid that they'll be teased.

Answer 3

I kept my name and know several other women that did too. However I have one set of friends that made up a new name that they both took.

I know of several others that did hyphenate their name.

Whatever you both are comfortable with.

Answer 4
