  3. Change your name by Deed Poll to a totally new name.

  4. join both partners surnames to create a double barrelled surname. A deed poll is required for this

You can choose to take your partners name or vice versa, You can also choose to have a new name completely. Many couples join the two surnames up to create a double barrelled name.

It does not matter what name you choose as long as the name meets the requirements that all applicants have to meet. This includes the non use of vulgar or abusive names.  Please see our section about names.
