    I love my last name. I changed mine as soon as I met my husband, I changed to his last name. We married a month after meeting anyway. I changed my sons last name as well as soon as hubby & I met. It's the way we wanted it from the moment we 1st spoke.

    I hate mine! It gets spelled wrong ALL the time.


    At least I'll get a new one when I get married someday

    I had a very common last name until I got married. My husband's last name is unique and the coolest thing about it is that there is a Detroit Red Wings player with the same last name! I'm from Detroit, so I love this.







    I miss hockey.

    I love my French name, and I don't think it's hard to pronounce.

    I dont like my maiden name because people add an N where there isnt one. I like my married name because its easy to say and common BUT I hate it for my kids because its long to try and spell.

    BTW- My name is hyphenated with maiden and married so I hate when i fill out things and there isnt enough room. :sad:

    I like mine fine. It's fairly common and has only one spelling, which is nice because I have to spell my first name for people all the time.

    My maiden name is simple and short. my 1st husband's last name had an S at the end, and my husband now, his ends with ES.
    I'm always having a hard time eeking that e in there, it looks like a weird little loop. ah well. Ward was so simple and easy...strangely, i never liked it until I had a different one. I thought it was so boring and dull. After a kid, and kid #2.. you want boring dull and 3 less letters whenever possible. I wish I had known before I gave my daughter an 8 letter name.

    I do not like my last name. I wish I'd kept my former name. Or changed to my maiden name. Or my mother's maiden name. Oh well.

    Not posting mine but Its alright. No one ever says it right. They confuse it with a common first name. And I always have to spell it. It's so simple though

    Yes although its very common in the Hispanic world but I like it more especially that I have the same surname of Amancio Ortega, one of Spain's richest man & owner of Zara boutique or Kenny Ortega, well known musical director (we all know him I guess).

    Just hope that when I get married, the surname that I'll be adopting will be as good as what I have now.

    The only reason for me to like it is the cultural aspect of it, otherwise, I prefer not to have it, especially living in Australia. I am actually thinking about changing my last name.

    Meh. 50/50 on it. It's unique(unless I'm in Utah or England, haha!), so that's good, but it means a lot of, loads, pile... And I always thought it was an aweful name for a fat girl :laugh:
