why not start a new tradition and make up your own last name?

Well minus my father, I really have researched my family background. My
mothers side is quite interesting. That side was very hard working,
trusting, and chariatable. The name is known for that. My fathers side
is....well, like I said my mom remarried and my step dad's side is my
family now. But even still I want the name derived from my husband's
side because I do like the tradition...but I dont really want to just
make up a name either. I do like history. I do like Chris' last name
but he has his reasons why he doesnt want his.

i just think chris probabaly has worked so hard at making his name a
good one..... why give that up? that should say something about his name
right there... for its much harder to build a name... and easy to throw
away one... there should be meaning in all his work he has done to
better hisself and to survive whatever he has gone throuh..should be no
shame in that.. chris you should be proud.. for you seem to be a grand
person! and your name is a part of you

Friends of mine had a similar situation and they applied for a new last
name, just picked one they liked. Everyone was happy, the only thing
confused was the mailman LOL

True buttons, it seems one idiot can tarnish a name and it takes
hundreds to bring pride back to the name. But Chris is a great man, and
should be very proud of himself. & I'll love him no matter what! Even
if his name was Mr. Barfpimple

i kept my last married name... for the purposes of not having to deal
with name changes in my id again.... but the only meaning behind my name
is that i like the sounds of it... really thats not a meaning... i get
compliments on my last name all the time lol... from women mostly lol...
i wont put it in the room but i will sound it out here.... Hug-it

Awww cute

Hey my cousin's name is Apple and her husbans last name is coffee...For
obvious reasons she didn't want to take her husbands last name so she
just kept her own...They were both fine with it...These days it doesn't
really make a difference...Hyphenation is always an option too!!!!!!!!!

Geez buttons that was sweet

lol katie.. no dont pick barfpimple!!!!!!!!!!!

good morning chris

morning buttons
even though I have yet to go to sleep yet
LMAo

I wouldnt make a good Mrs. Barfpimple?

awwww ya gotta get rest..

WTF?
Barfpimple?
UM HUN?
WTF?
where the hell did you come up with that?


OK
Attention
Someone hand Katie some coffee
She obviously has forgotten it today
LMAO

Barfpimple?
LMAO

I kept my married/divorced last name too because I didn't want my kids
to have a different last name....Knowing my kids I would have never
heard the end of the questions asking why!!!!!!!

My kid is already going to ask "Why"


I had been engaged...grrrr, and I gave my son his father's name with the
intention my name would also be the same. But his dad is.....well to say
nicely....not around or really involved. So I was hoping to give my son
my name. It would be really helpfull when going to the hospital.
Record automatically assume we have the same last name and things get
messed up rather easily

Why?

Why not?

Woah
Who is talking right now
Ahhhhhhh
I really need sleep
lmao
