That gave me a reason to keep my last name, well, that’s until I meet my future partner in life. ;) For now, I’m really happy with it! <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.nationalconveyancing.com.au/content/our-settlement-agents-team-perth" rel="nofollow">Kimora Avery </a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322770025041404649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169740169098584006.post-66567699009661208742011-10-26T12:17:24.434-07:002011-10-26T12:17:24.434-07:00This will make you...laugh? No, probably not.
I ...This will make you...laugh? No, probably not.<br /><br />I was offended when my dad wanted B to ask his permission to marry me. I said, No he won't ask you, that's not ok with me because I'm not your property to give away. My dad was all "tradition this, tradition that..." and B was like "Why did you say that? If he wants me to ask I totally will."<br /><br />You don't know my dad super well, but that was a big deal that I said that and there were offenses all around. B said I basically should have just gone along with it. ....my opinion about myself and my own issues comes in where? Apparently I shouldn't have had a say about MYSELF, and should have let everyone else do the deciding. Pass me from one male to another.<br /><br />Jones --> Russell. Why not. What's there to lose?<br /><br />Going back, B and I have come to the conclusion that we should have just changed both of our last names to something cool, like Ferrari.

I love my new last name, I want...I changed my name. I love my new last name, I wanted the same name as my husband, and, most of all I kind of hated my maiden name - which is Miller, haha. But not because its a bad name. I don't like that side of my family, my parents are recently divorced, and I don't like the connections it has. My new name only has happy associations.<br /><br />HOWEVER, I kind of wish I had had a maiden name I liked so that I could have kept it. For purposes of ruffling feathers. It wouldn't be an issue where we are now but someday we will move. And I think it could be a little fun. Also, some of my husband's family would have been ... consternated. I love them, though. Partly why I want to ruffle their feathers.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18307790314528456403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169740169098584006.post-23128501763135118602011-08-25T06:29:32.741-07:002011-08-25T06:29:32.741-07:00Eliza R.

I have both, not hyphe...I wish I had kept my name. I have both, not hyphenated. It is all very complicated. The problem is that we went to get our marriage license the afternoon after I defended my master's thesis, which was a traumatic experience and I was a total wreck. I mean I was pouring sweat and tears afterward. So I wasn't thinking clearly and didn't realize I had to decide what my name would be RIGHT THEN. So I just took his last name and scrapped my own entirely. But then I regretted it because he has a common last name and I have a common first name. So then I went through a whole rigamarole court deal getting it legally changed to both. It seemed somehow wrong to scrap his name once I had it. I wish I just had my name because it is who I am, but I am not about to go through a second court filing and appearance. Yuck. And then the hassle of changing every document? Awful. But I just go by my own last name at work, and let everyone at church assume I have his, and I sign mine wtih both. It makes it complicated to remember what name is on my prescriptions.Madame Palmkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10701591750149942153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169740169098584006.post-74789407212743093402011-07-30T10:23:53.703-07:002011-07-30T10:23:53.703-07:00I totally agree with the whole middle name thing--...I totally agree with the whole middle name thing--I loved my middle name and didn't want to change it just because I got married, so I kept it (although I did have to sacrifice my maiden name which was a bit sad).Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08773752479982576449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169740169098584006.post-3880143944536677372011-07-30T10:02:24.488-07:002011-07-30T10:02:24.488-07:00I've always told people that I'm going to ...I've always told people that I'm going to "know" when it's the right guy because his last name will sound good with my first name. Ryceejo Nordstrom is great as is, and I've dated some awful last-namers who would destroy all that is right and good about a name. Celebrity women keep their last names to avoid confusion. <br /><br />Your seventh reason would be the one reason i WOULDN'T want to keep my last name. I hate being asked questions over and over again and feeling like I have to justify myself. Unless I marry a man with a seafood last name, I hope to take his name, because it will sound good with Ryceejo, and thus confirm that it's true love. ;)Ryceejohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04127301547572825540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169740169098584006.post-91922451900081744142011-07-28T13:00:45.093-07:002011-07-28T13:00:45.093-07:00sorry had to delete my last comment it had a blari...sorry had to delete my last comment it had a blaring typo and I caught it after it posted! so here it is with the typo fixed.<br /><br />honestly when I was married to the Herrick of my choosing I took his name for 2 reasons.<br />1. it would tick my family off even more that I was marrying the guy they didn't approve of if I dropped their name and took his.<br />and<br />2. you can now write my name as one long word by dropping a few letters here and there:rachel elizabeth herrick turns into<br />rachelizabetherrick.<br />yep that's me.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394967015021716717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169740169098584006.post-74516525296886489402011-07-28T12:59:00.976-07:002011-07-28T12:59:00.976-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394967015021716717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169740169098584006.post-56595919591655166562011-07-28T08:11:53.891-07:002011-07-28T08:11:53.891-07:00Hello, dear! I wonder if it will be a big deal at ...Hello, dear! I wonder if it will be a big deal at all. I know we both have a tendency to think that we are breaking great boundaries and people in general are not too surprised.<br /><br />For example, I used to get a lot of eyebrow raises with wanting to be a dentist. Now that it's happening, I get the in awe, whoa look. Perhaps the comments would still exist if I weren't already applying?<br /><br />Now for me.... I'm a feminist like you. However, I NEED my last name to be changed because Dr. Schulzinger is ridiculously long and refers to my Dad. So I am looking for a man with a two-syllable last name and then I will be content. Now here's where it gets tricky. If I get married after dental school, I can't just go changing my office name and whatnot. So I have come up with a pseudonym for myself. If I am unmarried by the time I finish dental school, I am legally changing my last name to 'Jardine.' I have asked for Jessica's permission and she is ok with me being Dr. Jardine.<br /><br />I think that sounds awesome.- Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484452714692097808noreply@blogger.com
