Ms. Allison Trumbley....or is it?

I never thought in a million years that I would be considering keeping Trumbley as my last name. I always disliked my last name and no one could ever say it or spell it right and I always joked that I would get married just to change my name. But, I have been handed the opportunity to be married and have the sur name of Sommerville; a name I like very much and one that sounds very good on me...sort of makes me sound like a movie star. Allison Sommerville. But Trumbley is mine and it's one of my single aspects that I can visibly show off to people. It sets me apart and I'm apparently very attached to it. I started to do that annoying thing where I write down Mrs. Allison Sommerville on paper and it looks nice but I'm not sure if it's quite me. Dave doesn't care either way....it's my choice and I'm not sure what to choose. I didn't think this was going to be so difficult.

oh, no hyphens, please! i think those are so silly.
kristin kept her name as a middle name, so she is kristin letkeman but her full name is kristin renee bryce letkeman. i think thats cool.
i honestly love my boyfriend but hate the idea of changing my name. its mine. and it suits me. and wiebe just sounds weird after my name. i know this is premature but i'm still perplexed. so i feel your pain.

Call me old fashioned, but I didnt really give a thought about keeping my name, I was excited to take my new husbands name (Well, I might have been more excited if it was a prettier name than Meush..lol)
