don't mind either really, maiden name (Myles) so go some jokes, you know 'do you live Myles away' etc. married name Greenway, get jokes about that one to 'greenboots, greensleeves. Oh well win some lose some. lol Feel sorry for the peeps who's parents don't think when picking the first names that don't work with the surname couple of my friends parents sure didn't think, you know like 'Angel Cake, Benjamin Dover, Harold Cox,

Married name is a bit boring - Tanner, but, despite being unusual, I didn't like my maiden name - then found out it wasn't my dad's real name - he was adopted at 14. Since then I've found out his 'real' name wasn't his REAL name. !! I know he was born - I know the exact date (apparently lol) just got to find out who his pa was. My grand daughter has a double-barreled name - father's first then mothers, cos there is only 1 male Tanner left from ex's branch of the family. maggie

No I don't really like my married name either, my maiden name sounds much posher! Claire 'Ede!'

I'm indifferent to my surname - Gold. I don't like my forename and surname together though, which is strange. Too many people comment, mispell, pronounce it wrong and it drives me crazy! Having said that my surname has a history and I wouldn't change it for the world.

maiden name - bradley 1st married name - cape 2nd married name - morgan to be 3rd married name (when we get round to it!) - bell like them all! just a bit worried about being a rum and becoming a whiskey! lol tina x

I don't think is a case of liking surname or christian, but maybe more to do with the phonetics of the two combined. Mine, Andy Day, sounds whiney. I think. Named after Andrew Paterson , my G grandad. Not to bad as my mum would always say it, Andrew Day, but parents need to consider abbreviations. Mike Hunt being a classic! I would maybe have rather been named after one of my Day ancestors, Charles John or Joseph, or even Edward.

I don't mind my surname - It's alot easier to spell and pronounce than my Maiden name Salkeld Lindax

Prefer my maiden name Gilmour to married name Mason But and theres always a but DIL loves the name Mason compared to her maiden name of Haddock ah! well Norah

Funny this, was having this conversation at work the other day. I was Julie Misson, hated being Miss Misson, but invariably got called Mission. Always used to say actually there's only one i in my name but eventually got bored with saying it. Now I'm a Clapham, and we get Chapman, Clapton, Claphall. It really riles me that people cannot look at a name correctly. I have a Midwife sister where I work and says it's Julie Chapman, when I correct her she just says Yes. Still, we can't all be perfect can we??? Except us lot on here :))) Julie xx

i actually like my surname (except when referred to as 'the bike') and i have been told when telling people my full name how lovely it is of course Getty or Trump would have been nice pmsl Bev
