Should I change my last name? My mother thinks that I shouldn't?

I really do not have a relationship with my father and I don't get along with him; him and my mother have been separated since I was born and when I came into this world, he said that I wasn't his daughter and made my mother go to court and get a DNA test. Anywho, I have never met anyone on his side of his family and he told everyone that my brother and I were bastards (even though he got divorced with my mother when I was ten). I'm just fed up with him as a person and I hate feeling like I'm nothing; it's a shame I don't even know anyone on his side of the family. How much is it going to cost me to change name and do you think I should?Should I change my last name? My mother thinks that I shouldn't?I don't think you should change your name!!! Don't allow this man to dictate who you are just because you share a name! I believe that your name is a gift to you whenyou are born, whether you still want it or not! My husband was in the similar situation when we met. He never met his father until he was 18 and all he did was punch his dad in the face and leave. When my husband was about 3 his mother met a new man who has been his father his whole life. His mother and %26quot;father%26quot; have been together ever since and they have 2 more children. When we met, he wanted to change his name to their last name because he felt left out being the only person in their family with a different last name! I told him that his name was unique and just because he didn't have the same last name as them doesn't mean he isn't apart of their family. I don't think you should change your name, but if you do, think long and hard before you make your decision. If you have any doubt in your mind, don't do it. Maybe try waiting for 6 months to a year before you make a definite decision. Or maybe even huphenate your name with both the last names.

I've heard the cost is around $500-$800 dollars, depending on where you reside. But I don't think you should change your last name, because some day you'll get married, and have to change it to your husband's name anyway, so I think you should just save the money and complications and just wait-it-out.



For the time being, just try and cope with it because you are a girl, and when you marry a guy, your last name will change to his. Hope that helps!

awww thats so sad

if i were u f(uc)k him you gotta make your own way in life and if he treats you like that why would you want to bereminded of him every time u sign a check.
One of these days you will fall in love and marry and your name will be changed for a good reason. Keep his name. His rhetoric doesn't mean that you are what he said. He won't live forever and as a surviving child you will be entitled to property and assets that he will leave behind. It will that much easier to lay claim to it with the same name. You may not want anything from him now but , you are entitled and the inheritance can be something that you will pass on to your own child in future.

You aren't %26quot;nothing%26quot;. Success is always the best revenge. Work hard and don't include him. He has forfeited his right to know about you.
I think you should if you really want to, if he did all those stuff in my opinion I would but its your decision it would cost i think like 200 ithink not sure.
Honey, I don't know how much it costs, but I think it's a good idea. You ARE something. It is his loss that he doesn't have you in his life. And he doesn't deserve to have you carry his name.

I don't know where you are, but I'm in Ohio and it's about 40 bucks. Below is a link that will, hopefully, help you....

Just click on your state.
