Change last name - I have changed last name !!!

Hi hi, my name is Helena Amiley! :) We have been thinking about changing last names for a while.

Amilej we pronounce it, as it is spelled, not amajly as if you read it in English.

I just got an email from The Swedish Tax Agency that the surname that Miska and I sent in the application for in May has now finally been reviewed! We have known for a while that it was approved but it should be in a proclamation or newspaper or something (I only wrotedbefore autocorrect corrected me, I have such a great control over this) but as of today we are both called Amiley by last name!

What does Amiley Mean?

It is a made-up name, you can only change your last name if you get married, take a family name or come up with one that no one else is called.

Vi har velat byta efternamn ganska länge och kom på Amiley när vi skojade / brainstormade på altanen, mitt bland alla tokiga namn vi kom på så slog jag ihop “Annika” och “Mileya” som vi bor med och insåg att Amiley är ju jättefint!

So it does not matter, but when I thought about it more, it struck me that Amiley is also a mixture of all my nephews' names (Meja, Mila, Mille, Måns and Alexander) so then it felt extra right!

Why have we changed our last name?

Det började med att Miska ville byta eftersom han heter Isoniemi, vilket är ganska krångligt, så började vi prata lite om att ansöka ihop. Lite som ett mini-giftemål haha, jag tycker ändå inte att efternamn är så viktigt utan känner lite “varför inte?” :)

So now our names are Helena Amiley and Miska Amiley which feels so heavenly cozy! ♥

Then it is a bonus not to have anything with the letter ö, that Rönnblad must be written as Ronnblad. We have e.g. plans to live in Spain in the future. Now I can use my whole name without any weirdness with the dots :)

So now I have a little to stand in haha. Get a new driver's license, passport and change last names on my social channels and company stuff.

Check out my post about put on make-up before passport photo / driving license I did before photography.

I have also had plans to redo the design in the blog a bit, but have been waiting for the last name change for some really unclear reason. Most psychically, I think, that autumn and new surnames will be like a fresh start? :)

So now it starts, my fresh start 2020! Lol!

By the way, I sometimes get the question about my Sunday posts, that I stopped them shortly after the corona struck and if I should not start again. There are several reasons for this, but I definitely intend to get better at writing more about entrepreneurship and other non-makeup related stuff again!

Jag började jobba så mycket hemifrån plus det mesta jag gör handlar om mitt nya sminkmärke som jag ändå inte kan skriva om, så jag tappade lusten när de flesta dagar var “här sitter jag på samma stol som alltid framför dator och jobbar med saker jag inte kan berätta om” haha.

But I will try to come up with a better balance there, I do not write properly here in the blog :)

Hugs are!
