i have three given names (that chose for myself) around just over a week ago. I kept my last name/surname the same as before.
If I could change my last name it would be from my deep level family research and the cultures of my ancestors carry the names. I have a direct maternal line ancestor with last name Hætta, it’s from a place just Beyond the border to Finland. It is of Sámi origins. As I’ve mentioned before I like the name Niemi as well, Finnish roots and so beautiful sounding. I considered getting my middle name from my mother, but it was long enough to feel a little bit too long even without a middle name from mother.
