OP here. You're exactly right. We've lived together this entire time, and honestly, it doesn't come up very often. He's only met my family once, and the parents have different last names now. So it's pretty comical really. Thank you all for your thoughts! that was fun to share.

Are you sure you're actually in a relationship, and that you're not just some person he passes on the street every day?
Why haven't you gotten to the next stage of your relationship after six whole years?

Just wondering, have you ever specifically told him your middle and last names? I assume you at some point introduced yourself to him with your first and last names but, quite honestly, it's not that uncommon for people to forget last names. And since he wouldn't need to use your middle and last names when talking to you then it's understandable if he forgot. I honestly don't see the point of being upset about this

What do you mean your last name is not "Occupnt"
There is absolutely no reason why under normal circumstances two people dating for SIX YEARS shouldn't know each others full names! This isn't a coworker in a company of 200 that you pass by once a week...this is (supposedly) a significant other. We aren't talking about their blood type, or mother's birthday here.
Seems to me like you were just looking for something. That's not the kind of thing you ask someone if you actually think they know it.
your boyfriend clearly doesn't require knowing your name to get what he wanted off you for the past 6 years.
Change your email to first_last @. Email him everyday. Apparently he needs the reminders.
Are you sure you've been together...? I mean, six years? He's never heard you on the phone, never saw a letter mailed to you, never heard anybody address you as Ms. XY? How is this possible? I mean, was he aware you were in a relationship or did he think he had a FWB for close to six years now? That's freaky..
Yeah, I'm thinking he must be totally clueless not to have heard and seen her last name many times over the years. He has that little interest in her life? Middle name? I can see forgetting that. Last name? It just makes no sense at all.
This FML makes me feel better about the fact I never knew my fiance hated ice in his drinks until recently... we've been together 11 years.

If it never comes up or is never used, I can completely understand how it could be glossed over. Yeah it kind of stinks, but has he ever had to write out your full name? Does he mail out cards to your parents? Does he talk to your parents and called them "Mr & Mrs. ev_lyn_aw"? If everything has been first name basis your entire relationship, its entirely possible to happen. I worked as a company for 4 years, same people every day and I knew maybe 2 last names from 20 people (And thats because the names flowed together). Doesn't really matter if its a friend or a boyfriend. If your communication is the same, it can be missed or forgotten! If this is the worst of it, don't sweat it. Help remind him from time to time!
I can understand not knowing your middle name but your last name? that's just wrong
