exactly what i was going to say, Cindy. that's why my sister did it. in fact, she gave her daughter her ex's name even though she isn't his because she wanted them all to have the same last name.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
It was just one of those going-to-sleep thoughts; it seems like the divorce wasn't so wonderful, and most women I know who divorce nowadays take their name back, if they gave it up at all.
None of my divorced friends have kids, though.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
My mom kept her married name. Her logic? "That's been my name for 30 years, I don't know why I should have to change it because my husband's a jerk."

Compassionately intolerant
That's my logic.
My last name is hyphenated. The first one is my father's name-the second is my ex-husband's name. Together...it is my name.
It helps that I like my ex and my father has met his reward. As someone who is very name identified as a professional, I'd have a hard time changing it at this late date, remarriage or no.

I turned the tv on this morning and the Buffy was "The Body" and the Angel was "Reprise!"

My mom kept her married name so we matched. A few years ago when I was about 33 and she was 60, she changed back to her maiden name. Not sure what got up her nose about it, but she went to DMV and social security one day and made a bunch of phone calls after that - and boom...changed back.
The name she kept for close to 40 years had 14 letters, two hyphens, and was a bitch to pronounce.
I'm not going back to my maiden name, ever.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
My mom kept her married name, even though she thought my dad was nigh on to the devil incarnate, because she thought it was important to have the same name as the kids (mostly me, because my siblings were much older). At this point, I think she'd rather have her maiden name, but changing it seems like to much of a pain.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I kept my married name because it was SO much prettier and easier to spell than my maiden name.

Hey. New board.
Just watched Faith, Hope, and Trick. Noticed the Buffy/Angel theme music much more this time. Now have it stuck in my head.
"Doo doo doo. Doo-doo doo doo doo dooooooooooooo"
(If you can sing the song with those doo's, you like Buffy.)
