    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Last name: to Keep or not to Keep : Want to know why so many women aren't eager to change their name these days?  It's not because we love our husbands any less than our mothers generation.  It's because most of us no longer go from daddy's house to husband's house at the age of 18 or 19 before accomplishing anything.  I have a college degree, law school degree and two Supreme Court certificates all with my maiden name on them.  I am known in my professional community by my maiden name. My FI told me that this subject wasn't even up for discussion because it's my name and my choice.  He was shocked that I'm considering taking his name and using my maiden name as a middle name but continuing to use only the maiden name professionally. THAT is respectful. <strong>Go ahead and fuckingpuke</strong>.

    Why are you guys being so mean to sweetvadalia?  I don't know if you know this, but you are not suppose to use profanity on here.  I am going to report you.

    Sweetvadalia, I totally agree with you. I really believe that every woman should have to change her last name to her husband's name when she gets married.

    @GoodLuckBear14  I understand your position. It's not anything close to what my argument touched on. There is a difference in establishing yourself with your name and just keeping it just because you can or want to make a point.


    ETA: And you are changing your name (or at least considering it), so why are you arguing with me?

    But WTF cares why you keep your name? I can keep my name because I like the letters better than the ones in my SOs. That doesn't mean that you, or anyone else for that matter, have any right to judge me for it.

    Why?  What does it matter someone's reasons for keeping or changing their name?  It's theirs.  If someone wants to take her husband's name because she flipped a coin to make the decision, it's still her damn decision and saying that her reasons aren't good enough just makes you a bitch.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    Maybe because she likes the idea that she has a choice, no matter what she chooses, and would like to keep it that way?  Unlike people like you who apparently don't think anyone should have a choice.

    SInce you seem to have missed the point:

    "<u>My FI told me that this subject wasn't even up for discussion because it's my name and my choice.</u>  He was shocked that I'm considering taking his name and using my maiden name as a middle name but continuing to use only the maiden name professionally.

    <u>THAT is respectful</u>."

    How is changing your name respectful?  Anyone, including society, expecting you to do so isn't repectful. And to change your name only because others expect you to is you not respecting yourself.

    And don't think for a minute that I agree with your sexist statements.   I had made the decision while still in high school to keep my maiden name in some.  What does the reason matter as to why?

    Yeah, you do hate women. Sorry you hate yourself.

    I treat you just fine. I treat you as well as you treat anyone here. And I don't call you names or accuse you of things with no proof.

    But whatever. It's quite possible you piss off more people than me. I know that's a bitter pill to swallow but given the circumstances, I think you're just going to have to deal with it.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Last name: to Keep or not to Keep : Why are you guys being so mean to sweetvadalia?  I don't know if you know this, but you are not suppose to use profanity on here.  I am going to report you. Sweetvadalia, I totally agree with you. I really believe that every woman should have to change her last name to her husband's name when she gets married.

    And this:

    [QUOTE]I think it has a lot to do with the marriage. How can someone decide to share their life, home, finances, and even bring children into the world, but cannot *condescend to share the same last name? (*sarcasm) Everytime I read the phrase "ZOMG it's been my name for 345719457 years, why would I change it because I got married?" I want to fuckingpuke. Why doesn't that apply to everything else? You were unmarried for that many years too...so that means you should stay single? I have to say I think most reasonings behind keeping the maiden name sounds like a bunch of feminist bologna. I don't expect everyone to feel the same way I do about this. I get that everyone is different. I just think it's disrespectful. I have never even entertained the thought of keeping my last name.

    Okay, apparently I need to use kindergarten words to explain this to you. I GET IT that the troll is agreeing with me.

    I am angry because people think that it is me with another screen name trying to agree with myself.


    "I don't know guys, that's a really nice thing to have in your house. I have one similar saying written on the walls all over my quiet, neat, non-childproofed home. I have it in my brand new car as a decal on the window. I even wear it on a t-shirt for when I go out to dinner or hang out at a trendy bar or go on a relaxing vacation. "All because I use birth control." It still brings a tear to my eye..." SnarkyMcSnarkerson

    It's funny that you don't think I understand what you mean.

    Anyway, if it isn't you, why are you fighting it so hard? I smell guilty conscience.

    At this point you're sounding like Cartman loudly trying to get everyone interested in figuring out the real identity of the Coon.  No one is really that interested, and they don't care if it's you or not.  If this is getting you actually angry, I think you need to turn off the shiny computer box and take some deep breaths.
    This is a neglected planning bio.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    Um wow?  I never thought I would say this, but thank god I live in Quebec.  We are not legally allowed to change our names here.  Problem solved.  Oh and I can assure you no child has been bullied because they have a different last name than thier mother (I don't know how a child would even come by this info) and no one has ever had to explain to someone out of province or out of country why they and their hubby have different last names.

    To those who say that: "I want to puke when I see things like you can keep your last name if you want to...you're married you have to change your name"  Really?  Come here and say that in public..see how fast you'll be running back to the States after.  Ignorance....
