In other news about my job, we have a new employee coming on who has the same first and last name. And it's her married name. Apparently it really meant a lot to her husband that she take his last name. Enough that he saddled her with a RIDICULOUS NAME.

This could have been me-spelled differently-had my parents kept my supposed-to-be-a-boy-oh-well-let's-call-her-that-anyway name

I wish I had changed my name to keep my maiden name as a middle name, instead of dropping it altogether.

So far I've kept mine. I use his socially, but if/when I get around to changing it legally, my maiden name will become my middle name.

Glad I'm not the only one.

Never changed my name, and it's a good thing, too. Never wanted to, so I doubt I'll ever change it at this point.

It's my middle name.

You all know that Paige Davis from Trading Spaces is Paige Page, right?

My sister vows to never change hers again after her marriage lasted less than 7 months. We'll see, though. She's engaged again.

I knew a Hope Hope... but she was 80 when she died a decade ago so I think it's pretty much generational on her part.

Did she really change her name? Anyway, then she'd be Mindy Page, and still Paige Davis professionally.
