What are some wedding website name ideas for a couple with a long surname?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12

Short answer

Skip the surname and use first names, initials or a nickname. For example, sarahandpete, sandoftheyear or thefuturemrandmrsb. Short names are easier to remember and type.

A long surname can make a wedding website link unwieldy, so the trick is to avoid it altogether. Use your first names, like emilyandjames, or just your initials, like ej2026. You could also use a nickname you call each other, such as peanutandpickle, or a shared interest, like hikingtogether. If you really want to include the surname, shorten it to the first letter, for example emilyandjamesw. Another idea is to use a phrase that describes your relationship, like fromthisdayforward or thestartofus. You could also use the venue or the location, like emilyandjameslake district. Remember that the website name does not have to be your legal names. It just needs to be easy for guests to find and remember. A long surname is no barrier if you get creative with initials, nicknames or a meaningful word. Keep it under 20 characters if you can, and avoid anything that is a mouthful to say out loud.
