Big Step
 

I've changed my name by deed poll. Well, just waiting for the documents to sign. But as of today I have my OH's surname. We're not religious or fussed about marriage but have been together nearly 17 years. I decided that as a Christmas/New years gift I'd change my name to that of my OH and daughter :)

should have got him some socks instead

:hugesmile:

Well done.

When I first started reading I thought you were going to say you had changed your first name to something really random like Mooncup or Riverflow :hugesmile:

Good for you :)

May i ask what name it is changed from/to?

Thats a sweet thoughtful present.

Maybe

:bored:

Aw,congratulations 17 years is a long time ,I hope me and mine are together forever,we haven't clocked up 17 years yet so here's to many more whatever name it's in.:xyxwave:

LOL no. Good job I didn't do it over Christmas and had had a few :joker:

I don't post my surname but all I will say is it's improved, if a little common :joker:

Thanks :)

Lol well im sure that he will appreciate it.

We've spoken about doing it for ages but never did. I decided enoughs enough and here I am all new named :D Better practice my signature now :joker:

I'm so excited lol

Nice one! Is it difficult to change your name? I haven't the slightest clue about it and have often toyed with the idea of changing my name to something else. Good on ye :)

Very easy. You can either go through a solicitor or even do it online. It costs (I paid £29) though make sure it's ligit. I went through my city register office

Awesome! :hugesmile:

You have to get the forms signed by a witness but thats all

Then it was worth it.

A real personal gift, lovely idea, brave decision

Thankyou :) I'm so excited. Can't wait for my 'certificate' so I can get my bank details changed and stuff
