who has done it already?

i have to admit -- this is a process i am dreading...

i am extremely attached to my current name -- i've  had it for so long! LOL!  i understand the honor of taking on my hubby's name - and i will - but i feel like i'm giving something up...

i've explained my feelings to my hubby and he says it's okay if i dont legally change my name; he understands my hesitation and while he would like it if i changed it, he wouldnt be mad or disappointed if i didnt... aaawww how sweet is he!  

maybe at the new year i'll do it... maybe...

how is everyone else?

I changed mine... not EVERY thing has been changed over yet but the big things are done and the majority of everything else has been done as well.

It WAS a tough thing to do because I have had my last name for 26 years, people know me as just my last name, I LOVE my old last name... so it was odd to give it up... However seeing my DH SO excited during the process made it so special to me to actually have it done, he LOVES it. :)

I did it, but like soon2be, I just did the major things for now. I didn't completely change my name I hyphenated it. I just could loose my name. But I wanted to have my DH and son name too.

I love the new last name, the old one was the ex hubby's that I just never changed, so it definitely meant a lot to DH for me to change it.  I have everything changed but the electric bill.  UGH!  Have to go downtown for that and am SO not looking forward to it!

on the legal change form - i moved my maiden name to be my middle name... but still...  LOL...... wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh  this is the one thing i just wanna whine about!  ahahahaahh

I changed mine. I couldnt wait to change mine! I think having the same last name creates a family unit. It is weird to sign my name now, I really have to think about it.

i am thinking about moving my maiden name to my middle name too.  i haven't done anything yet about changing my name b/c we are going on our HM in a month and my passport has my maiden name.  after that, i will slowly start changing my name.  main reason is b/c i want to have the same last name as my future children.

Ive changed it everywhere except our bank account .... I have requested eleventy billion times that my payroll department change my name on my checks and still they haven't .... Im waiting until my checks change to change the bank account ...grrr

I am going to do it next Friday (I'm off from work)

Here's my shameful confession.....I haven't legally changed my name yet and I've been married since July.  Oh the embarrassment!

I've changed my name on things like facebook, my email (both personal and work) and the people at work now refer to me with my new last name....but nothing is legal yet.  I'm the WORST PROCRASTINATOR EVER. 

I hang my head in shame.....
