pixie - // One thing I didn't like, was that my mum remarried when I was a child. She changed her name, but not ours... and the amount of times I had to explain why my name was different ... I was never going to do that to my children. //

That's a shame.

As I said, i don;t think our elder two had an issue, and since our oldest is a chip off the proverbial block, if she did have an issue, I would have heard about it!!
I'm quite attached to my surname.

My sons have their fathers name but chose to be known by my name.
