No idea if we're having a boy or a girl yet. Mother's maiden name was Bristow. Baby will have DPs last name, and I couldn't care less about my last name for about a zillion reasons. But my grandparents passed away recently, my mum changed her name when she married, and my uncle never had children so my grandparents name has officially now come to an end. That only really occurred to me the other day and has made me really sad. When I had DS, DP and I talked about last names and whether he would have my name (which I hate), his name (beautiful, already double barrelled, and representing his ethnic origins) or some combination of the 3 (i.e. Drop one of his last names/ make it a middle name, and double barrel ours instead). But because I like his name so much, and dislike mine so much, I said just to use his. Now I'm kind of wishing I'd suggested double barrelling using my mums maiden name instead. But I guess that would have been a bit weird and probably caused arguments with my dad (who I don't have a good relationship with at the best of times). Anyway, I know using it as a first/ middle name wouldn't exactly "carry it on" but is it a crazy idea? It fits well with DS name and sounds pretty unisex. What do you think?
