DP and I are getting married in May 2016. The combination of my first name and his second name gives the same name as an undesirable soap opera character. I've already had sniggers and jokes and one person (who wasn't aware of my situation) joked "hey wouldn't it be funny if you married someone with the surname *** oh how awful would that be!" .
The was I see it I have three options ...
- Grin and bear it ... For years ... And years ... And years ...
- Not change my second name which would be a shame as I'd like us to have the same name and this option would not go down well with his family. Plus his ex wife still has his surname which would make it seem even worse that I didn't iykwim??
- Change my first name. I've always hated the fucker anyway but I can imagine it being a right faff on trying to get everyone on board.
It's stressing me out and I don't even watch the bloody program.
