The questions that brides struggle with a lot is the changing of their name. Am I going to miss being a _____, or am I going to love being the new ________? It is a difficult decision, for some.
I have never questioned whether or not I was going to change my last name. I was talking with my sister a few years ago about this. She said she had a very hard time letting go of our maiden name and embracing the new one. I told her I had no problem letting go. My last name doesn't make me. I make my name.
The question I struggled with more was, was I going to move my maiden name to my middle name or get rid of it all together. Tradition would tell me to let go of my current middle name and move my maiden name to the middle. For me, this doesn't not work. You see, I LOVE my middle name (especially since B and I share our middle name). My first name can also be a last name, so if I moved my maiden to the middle I would have 3 last names. YUCK! It just won't do.
So, my decision? (As if you haven't already guessed) I am letting go of my last name and embracing the new while keeping my middle name.
Are you struggling with the name change?
