How to decide which name to take after the wedding
From time immemorial, a girl who enters into a legalmarriage, was obliged to take the name of her husband. In our days, many wives decide to leave their maiden name, and some grooms and generally take the names of brides.
Instructions
1
First, take a closer look at your surname: whether you like it or not, whether it is consonant with your name and whether it is expensive in principle. If your name is known in narrow circles (for example, it is a brand), you need to seriously consider whether it should be changed.
2
Repeat aloud the combination of the oldname and a new surname. Without thinking of taking the surname of the spouse, if it is more in tune with the name, than yours, and also if you are tired of being Ivanova or Petrova to death.
3
Ask your future husband and his relatives about what they are living with the current name: do they make mistakes in writing it, do they hear it by ear from the first time.
4
Discuss the change of name with your parents. Some can show their discontent and demand that they preserve their family name.
5
Consider the option of combining two names. Take into account that a double surname should be taken for both spouses.
6
Decide which name your children will wear. Some couples decide to give the boys the surname of the father, and the girls the surname of the mother.
