We collected the stories of women who changed their names during registration, and those who did not do this. And lay a variety of valid reasons.
Change!
Changed because I was a shame that my husband and children (they should have already had two) all Lavrents, and I am with my last name, like a bad straight. And now it is very nice, and I, and he, and three children, all under the same name. Claim sensation. Like. Well, the idea of equality is not close to me. Changing the last name personally for me is a sign of confidence and the desire of complete unity.Changed . I did not want to wear my father's surname. I thought about getting my mother's surname, but I also wanted to dissociate it too. In principle, my husband was ready for anyone's decision, and I decided that my family is me and he, and our children. Such everyone will have the same surname.
Changed because the surname of the husband was cool. And the second time I had, because with the name of the former husband to be married to another person - well, not Ice somehow.
Changed . Twice. Because I like that it makes us closer. We have one last name. In addition, I could not tolerate my maiden. The first time was the usual typical Russian, and on the second husband is beautiful, rare and unusual, so I will win in any way.
Changed . I did not want to change, but the future husband arranged a terrible scandal, as it is possible! Forces to bring the point to the end did not have enough (20 years old, a good girl), the new name was my generic (the name of all relatives on Mama Grandfather), so I gave up.
Changed because my old surname was inexpressive, and my husband is really funny. So this act of her husband's family in good sense surprised. In addition, I was very young, and there was little documents to change the documents.
Do not change!
Did not change . Me, a girl from a good Jewish family, since childhood scared the prospect of marrying Ivanov. Ivanov - it was such a collective image of the entire unworthy, symbol of an unsuitable party. And when I am ironically going married Ivanov, the change of the surname would already be too much.
Did not change (although in youth only about Tom and dreamed, suffering). Firstly, somehow I have grown too far to 25 years, it was not very comfortable to become a "new person". Secondly, I was then a certified translator under the notary, and my name was regularly installed on all translated documents based on my documents confirming philological education and translation competence. The translation agency was in a quiet panic, when I learned that I would get married and shines them all this procedure for certification re-survive ... So I decided that in a professional plan, it is better not to touch the documents in a professional plan. Then a few years old asked her husband, whether he wants me to take his last name, he said that he was absolutely not careful, on the same thing.
Did not change . Although since childhood was confident that I would change the name, so even a signature in the passport in 14 years came up so that there were letters only from the name and patronymic (for some reason I thought that the signature should be indispensable to the same all life). And already in the registry office when applying, when I reached the point of changing the name, aunt-recorder said something like: "Well, why do you need such a beautiful name to change?" The future husband snapped according to him, and said that he also likes my surname.
Did not change . At the time, at that time, my mother retired and got a bunch of problems due to the fact that she had half of the documents on the maiden name, and the second was on the "man." Mom then told me: "You will get married - do not change the last name, it will be easier to divorce and retire." And at the time of marriage, I, in addition, stood in the center of employment, and I was scared too lazy to reissue. So I explained my husband, he neighing and agreed.
Did not change . I do not see sense, but a lot of worries. Among other things, it would have to fly to Sakhalin to change the documents and pay for tickets two then monthly salary.
Did not change . The surname of the Father will end on me, sister after the majority took Mother's name Maiden. But even if it were not for these circumstances - would not change, because, firstly, the surname is an important part of the human renome, secondly, there is no desire to extend the life of wild prehistoric traditions (the transition of a woman in a husband's family with all "lobs", from Those times when women did not give a passport, and her name was made to the passport of her husband). Thirdly, there will be no inconsistencies and rolls with documents
