Changing my (our?) name

So Im pretty attached to my name. Victoria Teresa Alessandra (Insert Puerto Rican last name here ending in "ez") - (sorry folks, im not giving out all my info - there are some crazy online brides that will call all your vendors and cancel your wedding!) ... And Nick has a fabulous English last name... For tday we will call him Shir


But I dont look very Puerto Rican (except for my fabulous ghettobooty), so my last name is kind of my defining Puerto Rican characteristic... People say "ez? you dont look Puerto Rican!" and so then I go into wonderful detail over my Puerto Rican heritage... mostly I just say "oh my dad is from there"...

So, Ive debated a couple of options.... Definate option number one is eliminating the Alessandra.... Its my confirmation name, and I dont really think of myself as Catholic anymore, so away it goes.

Option # 2: Becoming a full out Puerto Rican English Girl: Victoria Teresa Shir

Option # 3: Keeping my last name.... not really an option though, because I love Nick and am proud to take on his name....

Option # 4: Hyphenating: Victoria Teresa Ez-Shir (clearly im abbreviating the last names again... keeping away the crazies!!! But if you know the real names feel free to insert the correct names in your head), but then what about the kids... dont want to worry about hyphenating the kids names, and then you have to deal with questions down the road "mommy, why do you and daddy have different names??"

Option # 5: Changing my middle name: Victoria Ez Shir - I like this option... but I'll miss Teresa....

which leads to

Option # 6 (and what im currently leaning towards): All new names!!!: Victoria-Teresa Ez Shir, Here I get to keep all my favorite parts of my name, and just give myself a hyphenated first name... everyone calls me Tori anyways, so it doesnt really matter to me if Im officially a Victoria-Teresa... and I get to involve the Ez in there too....

Lastly, Option #7: This has been voted out by pretty much everyone except me... I thought it was cute - to have Nick and I both combine our names and become a new family... the Shirez family.... well, needless to say, no one Ive polled likes this idea - most importantly, Nick hates the idea, so no go... oh well, it was a creative thought!

But I digress... its off to Vegas to a friends bachelorette party!!! Ill post details and maybe some bachelorette ideas of my own later...
