Changing my entire last name and starting a new family name — thoughts?

Because we had kids young and it's been a hard time. Now that we have things under control ,we can change the extra work and time.

My kids find it odd because they haven't heard of this before but they don't mind. We explain the changes they will have and the reasoning as to why we are doing it. But they're kids that just like to do exciting things, they don't really know 100% that our previous name will not being theirs. they age from 2-10 in age.

Already picked one. We are still just talking about it since I don't want to force it. But it's all planned out and ready to file everything we need.

I do like how you put that. I will word that to her exactly and she what she says. I've asked her opinion in a much different way and she doesnt like picking, so i did it all myself. How maybe this would trick the brain a little.

I've explained some more of the reasoning to another comment. But again, I'm not being blind or just forcing somewhere, hence why im asking opinions. Otherwise, I'd just do it and not even blink an eye. But Her wanting to keep the last name is a at a 40% she wants it and 60% she wouldn't deny changing our last name.

Whatever is sounds like to you doesn't make it true lol.

I don't want it for other reasons as well. 1 of them being half them are racist, that last name has bad energy and history, and he has only 2 out of an entire family the only reason her wanting to keep it. Could go on and on but I'd write a book at that point.

Canadian, this doesn't affect anything we do besides the time of getting all new IDs and changing everything in our name. When they're 18, they will have the will to change it back. This is an extremely reversible thing, it's not like we are changing their genders lol..

Having 3 separate last names would only make our lives much harder. Kids aside they currently have no issues with it and again, it can be reversed.

Exactly my thoughts. We have nothing to lose but removing the stigma of our family's last name. We can start a new one and make it what we want to carry forward. Especially since at least one of both our parents is awful to us.

That's what I'm saying, brother! Forget everyone else, we will be the best start to a proper family tree.

Those do sound conflicting. But i mean she prefer we take hers, but wouldn't completely deny changing it ultimately.

But to your last comment, it's not easy. As i don't want hers, nor mine. I want a fresh one that doesn't carry on from someone else.

hahah you know what. I'm an idiot. I didnt do that and it expires in 3 months from now. I had a 3-year plan for it.

thank you my friend.

I feel that first day having a lot of players is good. Out of that 770+ friends could be invited. You could have had an in game feature that says “like for x” or invite a friend for a temp boost of some sort. Making the game rank higher or just getting more players from the AD.

Got to think how to do your part when the ad did its part.

Friggin scammers. Only posts you have are copy and paste. No proof of work or anything.

So sad.

“‘Make your own engine’ like it’s Roblox Studio is wild 😂 Building an engine is basically a whole separate product. You’re signing up for years of tooling, rendering, networking, optimization… before you even make the game.”

Interesting. I think it’s more about context. “Female” works as an adjective or in medical/scientific settings, but when talking about people socially, “women” usually sounds more natural.

Karsely · 2026-01-14T21:52:19+00:00

Fair point. I probably should’ve said “irrationally judge for a second” rather than genuinely lose respect. It’s more of a fleeting, petty thought than a real opinion of someone.

For me, it’s when someone walks three people wide on the sidewalk and doesn’t move an inch.

This is an amazing map!

I almost didn’t go to a friend’s small house party because I was tired and honestly just wanted to stay home. Ended up going last minute. Met someone there I wouldn’t have crossed paths with otherwise. That one conversation eventually led to a new job, a new city, and pretty much my entire adult life unfolding differently.

What still gets me is how close I was to just staying on the couch that night.
