[quote=Anonymous]I just learned after trying to change my name that SS won't let me just add my DH's name to my already long name. They are obligating me to drop a name (a few actually) and I really don't want to.

In my country the parents name the children with both, mom and dad's last name in any order they want and when the child gets married they choose which last name they want to go as last and (if) which name they'll drop.

We named DC1 "First name (American name very popular in my country and DH's) Middle name (ethnic) DH's last name(ethnic)" and now that we're trying to name DC2 I'm totally regretting what we did with DC1. I really wish we could somehow use my last name on their names.

If we were naming them back in my country it would be:

First name Second name Mom's last name Dad's last name (last names in any order the parents agree)

If we were naming them per DH's country it would be:

First name Place where family is from Dad's last name

Now, I'm trying to suggest DH to name DC2: First name (from his country) Second name (from my country) My last name DH's last name but he insists in following the pattern we used for DC1.

I'm really upset to see my family's last name die :( DH has 2 brothers who'll keep going with the family's last name and on my side it's just me since my brother is not having kids.

Please weigh in... what do you think?
