Bride-to-be horrified after realising the dark meaning behind her new initials

Bride-to-be horrified after realising the dark meaning behind her new initials

One bride realised that changing your name can sometimes do more harm than good

When deciding whether to change your name after getting married, you've really got to weigh up the options.

For example, if you've got a pretty cool surname, you might not want to change it - especially if your fiancé's name is, well, pretty average in comparison.

You might even want to meet in the middle and double-barrel it, or combine both your surnames into a totally new moniker.

After all, there are a few options to choose from so it's worth dedicating some time to consider it.

Obviously, it's worth noting that you don't have to change your name at all. It's totally up to you.

And as one bride-to-be realised, sometimes changing your name can do more harm than good, as her new initials spell out the last thing you'd want as a name.

Sharing her problem in a video that shows her looking shocked, she wrote in the caption: "What I tell people what my initials after wedding will be."

Not ideal.

She then added: "If you check my profile, you will get it."

The lady's name is Kathryn Keller and her future name will be Kathryn Keller Keith.

Her initials will therefore be KKK - the notorious name for the American white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan.

The bride-to-be then clarified in a follow-up video: "I'm obviously not affiliated with them at all, it's just a very unfortunate circumstance.

"I'm thinking to change my middle name but I don't even know what I should change to - there are so many options."

Changing surnames is still very popular among brides. (Klaus Vedfelt/Getty Stock Images)

TikTokers were quick to suggest some potential alternative middle names.

One wrote: "If middle name is Keller, what about Ellery or Elle to keep as many letters similar as possible?"

Kathryn replied: "Ok wait, I love this. This might be my favourite idea. I hadn't thought of that."

If you're wondering whether women still take their husband's names, you might be surprised.

As reported by the BBC, while fewer women in the US were taking their husband's surnames in 2020, it was still the practice adopted by the majority - with 70 percent choosing to do it.

Meanwhile, it's way more common over in the UK, where 90 percent of women take their husband's surnames.
