I kept my name, but I would like it on the birth certificate even if they don't use it so we will do first name, middle name, my name, husband's name.

Only one last name, but he has the maiden name as his middle name, which I really like. Dh didn't like the idea that much, so our kids will only have his.

Socially people call me by my married name but legally I still have my maiden name, I'm just too lazy to do all the paperwork spaniellove on "If you kept your maiden name, whose last name does LO have?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-kept-your-maiden-name-whose-last-name-does-lo-have#post-442752 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 10:40:29 +0000 spaniellove 442752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I kept my maiden name b/c I'm technically carrying on my side of the family, and there has been enough tension with DH's family that I don't want their name. So in our case I think hyphenation is probably the best compromise. yoursilverlining on "If you kept your maiden name, whose last name does LO have?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-kept-your-maiden-name-whose-last-name-does-lo-have#post-442722 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 10:28:15 +0000 yoursilverlining 442722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @rachiecakes: That's very cool you guys did that. My husband was very open to taking my name as well; but we each retained our own last names. shinystraps on "If you kept your maiden name, whose last name does LO have?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-kept-your-maiden-name-whose-last-name-does-lo-have#post-442717 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 10:27:17 +0000 shinystraps 442717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We are doing two middle names for our babies with the second being mine, and last name being husband's - so they will be First Name Middle Name My Name Husband's Name. We talked about hyphenating but thought it would be difficult for a little kid learning to write his/her name rachiecakes on "If you kept your maiden name, whose last name does LO have?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-kept-your-maiden-name-whose-last-name-does-lo-have#post-442701 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 10:21:13 +0000 rachiecakes 442701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @bebefly: if your LO feels the same way maybe they'll change it when they're older - DH always wanted to change his last name to his mother's maiden, which coincidentally is the same as my last name (verrry common last name). sera_87 on "If you kept your maiden name, whose last name does LO have?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-kept-your-maiden-name-whose-last-name-does-lo-have#post-442697 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 10:19:08 +0000 sera_87 442697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ husbands (blech). I wanted to hyphenate, but every single person I talked to whos name was hyphenated HATED it.
