Should I keep my name the way it is, or change it?

Question

My name Is Arianna Rae Rob------ (i cant right my full last name)

My dad dosent like it when I wright arianna rae on my school papers, but I think its prettier, easier to say, and shorter. I really dont like my last name, but my dad wants me to keep it to protect our family honor.By the way, My mom uses her middle name as her last name. So my question is, should I continue to be known as Arianna Rae, or use my last name, and make my dad happy?

Answer 1

Do what makes you happy.  And for the record, I like Arianna Rae.

Answer 2

Well if you don't like your last name and feel strongly against using it don't. DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY! With your mom doing the same thing you currently are it goes for you... Though i do see where your father is coming from. I think you should talk it over with your dad and defend what you really want, which im assuming is to stay Arianna Rae(Which is sooo pretty)... There may be more to why he is saying what he his... For now i say to do what you want, but try to get where your dad inderstands where your coming from and you understand where he is.

hope i helped, Krissy
