My wife had a hard to pronounce Polish maiden name and was glad to change to mine. I don't think I would have cared if she didn't though.

We'll never have kids so that's not an issue either.

Ha. My poor wife ditched her cool Irish name to change to my hard to pronounce polish name.

You're Polish? WTF?

damn I don't know a single couple that didn't change it, did not know it was this common.

can you still get one of those signs with your last name on it? Like the cool ones you hang outside your house or lake place? or is it hyphened?

I also made my maiden name my middle name. I don't use it though except as a middle name. No one calls me by that. I put it on Facebook though so people who knew me before knew who I was.

We started the middle name boy thing when we had our first son. I had his name picked out forever as it is my dads first name. But then my friend had a baby and named him the same thing. I was pregnant and furious. So we still named him that but gave him a better cooler middle name and called him that. Then with the next son we named him my husbands first name and a better cooler middle name and called him that. But we only put them in that order because it sounded better. Then it became a thing so we did it with the next three sons. It is stupid. I wish we didn't.

We also don't reuse first initials. We are almost out of letters. We are out of boy names that we like. I have a couple more girl names I still like.

Women.

I always miss the hidden gems in these threads.

I acknowledged that it was stupid. We are still very good friends and so are the boys.
