      What would you like to name your first boy/girl? What names do you hate? I have gone back and forth with this. For girls I love Anna and Olivia. For Boys I really like Owen and Declan. Are any of the names family related? None of the first names I mentioned are family related. But for middle names, Peter and James are. How…

      I'm also in favor of losing titles, unless they are professional titles. Why should a woman indicate her marital status with a meaningless title, while a man's title doesn't? I don't use my H's first name, as in Mrs. James Poppy. He doesn't call himself Mr. Maire Poppy. Neither of us feel disrespected. If he dies before…

      Well now I'm interested in knowing about this. I just sent them an e-mail specifically asking about the passport. One of the reasons I didn't change my name back to my maiden name when I got divorced was because i had just spent the time to change my name a few months earlier and I had to take a day off to do it and I had…

      I think the beauty of feminism and "empowerment" nowadays is that a woman has the freedom to do what she wants (Be escorted down the aisle/walk solo, keep her name/change her name, etc) because she wants to, not because somebody (Of any gender) pressured her into it. I took my husband's name because I feel no attachment to…

      Discussion by lpstl · August 2009 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

      Ok, so I've finally gotten around to changing my name and up until today it's been pretty easy. In my family we replace the middle name with the maiden, but since I go by my middle name that didn't make sense for me, so I just added my maiden as a second middle name. So far, social security, DMV, and my bank haven't had an…

      Well, I was already a gushing pile of love last night, so you all know that I pretty much love everyone. You know, if you read that thread. If you didn't, well, I pretty much love everyone. If I have to name names, then Nates, Card, CCF, Kayla, Roxy,and...everyone else. Sesh also rocks my world. I also really like Steph,…

I had been planning on changing my license ever since I got my social back, but I always found a reason to postpone. Yesterday after my doctor's appointment I…

      I am having a semi-casual wedding at a park where we will be having lawn games and a buffet style dinner. The invite is a post card with ceremony information on the front and blank on the back. I was thinking about printing a sticker with this on it:Reception Immediately following the ceremony, the celebration continues at…
