I kept my married name when I divorced my ex-husband. I have a son with him, and he has that last name obviously. I am now getting remarried in May, and not sure how I should do the whole last name thing.
So my question is...do I take back my maiden name as a middle name (first name, maiden last name, new last name), or can I keep my first married name as my middle name (first name, first marriage last name, and new last name), and my new husband's last name. Mainly my reasoning is because of my son. I don't like him having a different last name as I do, and nothing of my new name indicating that he wasn't born to me out of wedlock, etc. His taking my new husband's last name is not an option. I am really big on what people think, but do not know what to do in this situation. Any advice?
There is no right or wrong here. It's your name and you must decide the best option for you. Many women will hyphenate, using their married name and their new husbands' surname. Talk this over with your fiance and decide together what would be best for the three of you.
Don't worry about what others think. In this case, it's all about what makes you and your men comfortable. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
