i said that i would have liked this as there is noone to carry on our family name (clare) however clare-mooney dosn't have the same ring as barclay-goulding, so in the end we decided agaist it...
xx

Were considered doing this but Bufton-Hodson doesn't sound right so Im going to change my name to his name. x

i think it sounds fine
ours would be rea ( pronounced ray) - clarke.
not the same ring as barclay - goulding x

I really don't want to double barrel my surname it would either be

Chick-Walker or Walker-Chick... err noo i don't think so lol i've wanted rid of mine for years! I prefer just walker!

Barclay-Goulding sound's lovely :D xx

no...h2b is adament that he wants me to have his name! i always said that if i got married i would keep my surname Sas but im not now and will miss it! h2b would never change his surname! xx

We're not ... I'm Guy, he's Nutt ... I've thought about it and they just don't go! Although I may not have to put up with Nutt for long, he's considering changing his surname to his step-dad's (Deller) and secrety I have all my fingers and toes crossed that he will! Deller is SO much better than Nutt!

We're thinking of doing it. We'd be Rans-Hill, which we thought sounded better than Hill-Rans, but we're not entirely sure yet. I worry a little that it might be complicated but I don't want to lose my name either. I like the idea then of the whole family having the same name, like you said any children would then have the same name as both parents.

We are doing it... Going to be Mrs Hurley-Peet :) cant wait!! xx

Both of our kids are Killgallon-Tilley my surname runs out with me so wo gave our kids a double barreled name to continue my name. Dean also has issues with his family and at one point decided on just taking my name but i convinced him to stick with double barrelling as to keep the same name as our kids

H2B has read the thread and has told me to post that he is coming round to the idea more and more, thanks ladies.

My ex husband is marrying my ex best m8, and they double barreling as she dont want to have my last name...cant see the problem, she stole everything else that was mine why not have my name too eh! xx

I'm torn between becoming Annelisa Scott or Annelisa Walton-Scott. H2B isnt sure either lol. My mum had the bright idea to have my birth surname instead, but I dont really know where Lorenzini would fit in !! I think she was thinking Annelisa Lorenzini-Walton-Scott! My first names enough of a mouthful so god knows how people would manage with the rest! Parents! You[ve gotta love 'em xx

We're both double barrelling as well- Vyas-Myall (h2b likes this because it would be pronounced "via smile")
Apparently it's really easy as well. When I spoke to the registry, they said the process for changing names is the same for both bride and groom post-wedding. I can't wait to finally officially change my name.

Am I the only one not doing anything like this, lol. Maybe I am just old fashioned but I am taking my h2b surname and can't wait to do so. It is old hat, but I have no problems with this tradition. I have been a Lamont for nearly 32 years and it has been nice but so looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life with my new surname, and to have all our children with the same name is very important to both of us. I understand the many reasons for either keeping your maiden name or double barrelling but I will always know that I was once a Lamont as will all my friends and family, but so excited to be called Mrs Codling! Oooh butterflies, lol. :)

No I dont think that's true Marie

I was adopted by my step dad, not because he married my mum, just because they wanted to do that. It meant my mum had to adopt me too strangely enough so she's no longer seen as my biological mum, but my adoptive mum lol

On the name front I, like gregorysgirl, will be happily taking my fiance's name. Looking forward to being Mrs Dunnery but could be a prob if any mail for me goes to MIL2B's house as we own their house and she's Jane so if anything's sent there for me she'd open it thinking it was for her... shouldnt be anything sent there though x

My eldest children from a previous can't be adopted by my h2b as their biological father has to give his permission and if not there has to be statements taken from family members and the kids too to so as to convince the court that they should be adopted etc. But we are having their names changed by deed poll instead so we will all be Codlings in less than 6 months, exciting!! x

also, my first child has my surname and wants to take his surname when we get married xx
