Has anyone changed their last name to their partners without actually getting married?

Many people do this, you can do it through deed poll if you are in the UK
@Hannah cheaper in the long run if divorce ends up happening 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha yes, something certainly to consider!
@Hannah if it’s in the UK, it can cost as little as £36 to change your name via deed poll. I changed my surname mid divorce as it was dragging and I no longer wanted to be associated with my ex husband nor my birth family
If you’re not bothered by the ceremony side of getting married I’d just go to a registry office and make it official that way personally x
Not me, but my mum did this back in the 80’s so we all had the same surname - my parents were never married. Don’t think it’s weird at all 🤷🏻♀️😁
How come your daughter didn’t take your last name?
I did
My friend did and changed it by deed poll, has no connection to baby’s dad but share the same name
No, I just wanted till we were married. We were due to be married before my daughter was even conceived but due to covid she beat me to the name. I understand wanting to have the same surname, but if yous are planning to be married in time I wouldn't think there would be any point going through the steps to change your name legally, until then x
It can be costly to legally change your name, probably more so than just getting married at a registry office.
