Can I get this stitched on a pillow?
Timelies all!
I changed my name when I got married. Felt like the right thing for me. I still sign for packages at work with my maiden name, since the credit card I use for work purchases is still under that name.
If you can sew...
I always hated my last name. Loved my dad dearly, just really hated his name which was hard to spell and harsh sounding (Schram--does anyone want that name ON PURPOSE?). I took my ex's name and chose my mother's maiden name as a middle when I got married and kept it because it was euphonious. I decided to change my last name to Jason's because I like it and it felt weird to have my ex-husband's name still hanging around. I still haven't changed it officially, so I am in name limbo right now. None of my name choices have been political--thay have all been based on how the sound of the names made me feel.
Alobama!
ION, I posted some t-day pics in my lj. No turkey shots yet, oddly, but some of you will be amused to see that they came up with a novel means of getting me to actually go to church. [link]
Here's how you know I have internet problems: I was thinking "Alayne's not a boy's name!" Oh. Right. That's not your actual last name.I did this as well. And then went to Allen before I realized that I was using the wrong last name to figure it out...
I swapped my maiden to my middle. Didn't like my original middle, it had the same initial and, at the time, my stepsis had the same name as I did.
I like the new version. And had it long enough that I kept it post-divorce. Plus I finally like my initials now. I think the initials are what swayed me to just keep it. Well, and email addresses that I wasn't interested in changing. That too.
I have a battery-powered hubris alarm on my belt. And it’s set on vibrate, and it’s going crazy.
Man, non-Candidate Gore is funny and sexy.
Schram--does anyone want that name ON PURPOSE?
Seriously? Schram like cranky Seattle news celebrity Ken Schram?
That's actually kind of cool.
Yes, but try spelling it 500 times and it won't seem so cool. Also it doesn't sound mellifluous.
eta--we're probably related to that Ken guy. My grandfather was one of 11 kids. I don't know any of that side of the family, as he only spoke to 3 of them.
