Double barrel surname

[run6754]

Hello! I'm looking for opinions!

Due to get married in 12 weeks but I still haven't decided what I'd like my married name to be

My main issues are: I'd love to have the same surname as my fiancé but I am also really close to my family and don't want to lose my maiden name... (long story but it means a lot to me)

Therefore, I am swaying towards double barrelling my surname.

Has anyone does this and regretted it?
What about future kids' name?

(I have asked if my fiancé would take my surname but no chance!)

Thanks!

I double barrelled mine when I got married. DH wanted me to take his name, I wanted to keep mine so we compromised

DS just has DH's name

TBH, if I didn't want to have the same surname as DS then I'd bin the double barrelled name off and just use my own, it's too long and a bit of a ball ache
