My mom didn't change her last name until I was in elementary school. I think she was sick of proving to schools that we were her kids!
-
My mom remarried when I was 7 so after that, no. It didn't bother me and I don't think it caused problems in terms of legal stuff.
-
Yup, we all had the same last name.
-
yes--same as mom & dad
-
I did, but my LO and I won't because I kept my name. We're planning to use my last name as LO's middle name, though, so at least it will be there somewhere
-
Yep! Haha. I changed my name when we got married, but I didn't start referring to myself as my married name until I had DD. Now I rarely call myself my maiden name!
-
We all had the same last name! Side note, my FIL actually took my MIL's name.
-
No. We had the same last name while growing up but she remarried and changed to her husband's name.
-
Yes, but I haven't changed my name. Hope it won't be a pain in the butt later, with the kids!
-
Yes, we all had the same last name and now DH, LO, and I share a last name.
-
Yes. But, I didn't change my last name until two years after getting married. Now that I have a kid, I'm glad
I did change it-makes things easier! -
I didn't have the same last name as either my mom or my dad. I was a hyphenated combination of both of their names.
-
No. My parents are divorced.
-
Yep. Our whole family unit had the same last name.
-
Nope, my mum remarried. Never had any issues with it though. And I kept my maiden name...hopefully it won't cause any problems for DD.
-
Yep...and I still haven't changed it! Not sure if I ever will...I like my name!
-
Yep, we all had the same last name.
-
we all had the same last name but she divorced and remarried when I was 16.
I miss our names being the same.now baby and I have different last names and it's caused a ton of stress. looking forward to us having the same name.
-
@Mrs. J: that's cool! DH took my name because his family is awful.
We all had the same last name.
-
@rachiecakes: That's like my FIL...he had crazy family drama, and his siblings were picking a new name, so he decided to take hers so the name would have meaning.
-
@rachiecakes: no way! Very cool!
Well my mom had 2kids in her 1st marriage so their ln was different until my parents divorced when I was in 3rd grade we had the same ln but it never bothered me once she changed it.
-
We did, my mom took my dad's name. I kept my maiden name so LO and I don't have the same last name and we've never once run into any problems - daycare, traveling, etc. no one has ever once questioned that I was her mom, or our relationship!
-
Nope--my mom kept her name when she got married. It was our middle name. It was occasionally confusing but not a huge deal. I also kept my name so LO and i have different last names.
-
We all shared the same family name. DH's aunts for the most part kept their maiden name. It might be part of Vietnamese tradition? I took DH's name while I was pregnant with DS, and I'm glad I changed it.
-
We did. Even after my parents divorced she still kept his name, she said so she would have the same name as us. Now DH, LO and I all share a last name. I never considered doing anything else
-
Yep. And our kids and I will share a lady name too. I never wanted it any other way. I always looked forward to becoming a Mrs.
-
My mom remarried when I was four so she has a different last name.
-
Nope, she hyphenated hers. My brother & I had just my dad's last name.
-
Nope, my mom kept her maiden name.
-
My family growing up all had the same last name, but our family now doesn't because I kept my name
-
Nope, mom kept her name.
I kept mine too. -
My family all had the same name. But I kept my name and so DD and I don't share the same family name.
-
My mom made her maiden name her middle name and my dads as her last
-
Yep!
-
Yep, and still do since I didn't change my name! lol. I may end up hyphenating, we'll see what happens when we're back in the states and out of the military.
-
Yes. We had the same last name.
-
Yepp we all had the same last name.
-
My mom kept her maiden name but she would answer to either (our friends would call her mrs.mylastname, etc) and she didn't care. It never seemed like a big deal to me. I took DH's name but I think it would have been fine either way.
-
Yup, we all had the same last name. Even after my parents divorced, my mom still kept her married name, she said it would just be easier than having to explain.
-
Yup
