Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Congrats, Erin!
In Montreal, it was very popular for the Quebecers to be named Mary-something. I think that's fallen out of vogue now.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Erin, WOO!!!!!!
Having gone to Catholic school for 12 years, I knew a LOT of girls whose official first name was Mary, but who went by their middle name.
I admit that I didn't even consider changing my last name when ND and I got married because of all the paperwork involved. And the whole liking my name thing, but you get what I mean.
I think when my mom married my stepdad, she never legally changed her name to his, but uses it socially (Mr. and Mrs. W_____, etc.) and still uses her previous name (which is actually my dad's name, since she didn't change it back after the divorce) professionally.

Yay! Yay! Yay! Happy happy for Erin.
A German immigrant friend of my parents legally changed his name from Adolf Rudolph to Rudolph Adolf during WWII. For reasons that have not survived in the family history, my grandfather's brother had his name changed from Immanuel Ruben to Ruben Immanuel. I think with those names I would have gone for something completely different, particularly since everyone called him "Rube."
