But on our recent vacay since the room reservation was in his name, I kept getting called Mrs. Old Dude...and on a recent dinner outing the reservation was in my name so they kept calling him Mr. Karen. We're cool with it either way.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01407456109323983778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-10376990642778724092010-04-08T00:38:05.604-04:002010-04-08T00:38:05.604-04:00I took Mr B's name.

But his last name was his late fathers name - which I knew meant a lot to him. <br /><br />Can't stand being introduced as Mrs B his last name either. I have my own first name!Mrs Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03367631935043016430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-88093269599327835972010-04-07T16:14:29.931-04:002010-04-07T16:14:29.931-04:00I've decided to keep my last name.

Its such a personal decision, and I think it comes down to whatever makes you feel good.Chocolate Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301400033914265735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-67130346156142399052010-04-07T15:00:21.096-04:002010-04-07T15:00:21.096-04:00Hmmmmm, interesting.

I've never thought of that.<br /><br />On another note, I have clients that are getting married in a few weeks and the bride is wondering whether or not she'll change her name. I'm going to direct her to this article.Damien Smith Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14860474246505311036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-35942655840508964222010-04-07T13:17:21.285-04:002010-04-07T13:17:21.285-04:00I'm dropping my middle name (I talked to my mo...I'm dropping my middle name (I talked to my mom and she said that Marie just sounded nice with Stacy, so there isn't any family tie in there I would be disrespecting) and making my maiden name my new middle name, then taking Ryan's last name. It's such a tough choice and a very personal decision...I'm glad you made one that makes you happy my friend! It feels good to be at peace with it :)Stacy Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03251136207706318192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-72573423713255640372010-04-07T11:08:35.363-04:002010-04-07T11:08:35.363-04:00I'm dropping my maiden name and keeping my mid...I'm dropping my maiden name and keeping my middle name since it's the same as my grandmother as well!

(We are both Hannah Marie) Since Pete and I both have last names that start with M I figured this would be easy, at work I'd go by mine, at home I'd go by his and since both would be part of my legal last name, it'd work. Right?<br /><br />Well, it actually got a lot more confusing and I'll be blogging about it soon!<br /><br />I'm glad you were able to come to an easy conclusion!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998209409220136371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-78379232688206158562010-04-07T10:05:05.502-04:002010-04-07T10:05:05.502-04:00Ahhh, the great name debate.

But I don't know . . . I'm choosing to ignore this one for the moment.<br /><br />Good for you for making a choice that fits you. That's what feminism is all about, after all: choice.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04724896577355920828noreply@blogger.com
