Yeah I have never heard of that. I think its confusing enough at work and other things to immediately change your last name, let alone your first name too. Formal things that are addressed to you, or both of you, I see as having you as Mrs. Camo Man. But other than that, you are still you. Your first name doesn't change.…

wow. i want to kick your h in the neck for being such a caveman jerk. i can tell you that if my h made the same comments, we would be having serious marital problems as a result. i would not tolerate such misogyny in my marriage. i chose to change my last name, because it was the right choice for me. i simply like his…

Is he serious about this? Does he really want your business card to say Mrs. John Doe?! I would not take anyone seriously if they had that as their work name. Are your colleagues supposed to call you "John" now? Or "Mrs. John"? I also agree with the PPs who said that you are changing your LAST name, not your first name.…

Tell him you'll change your full name to his, when he changes his full name to yours. Done and done.

What he is proposing is totally unprofessional. You are not his wife at work, you are your own person - the one others will be dealing with. I'd venture to say that your clients and business associates don't have an effin clue who your husband is and more to the point don't give a damn. He has no bearing on their business…

As other PPs noted, you changed your last name, not your first. For formal social events, yes, you may be "Mr. and Mrs. His Name," but you are still YOU and you go by YourFirstName NewLastName. He needs to get over it. He had his camo, you get your first name.

Hey Mr. H...quit being all butthurt about this. AK has a good point - she changed her last name, not her first. She's your wife no matter what name she goes by, okay?

This is going to be a P&R because I'm tired and getting ready for bed. But I need help from you ladies with settling an argument with H... well, more proving my point. But we'll see what happens. Long story short, yesterday, H got all butthurt because I got cranky when he told me that from now on, all mail directed to my…

"Irritate" is an understatement. I'm thisclose to threatening to change my last name back, out of sheer spite.

This doesn't sound like a very healthy situation. Maybe he should talk to someone about his controlling behavior. Never in my life have I heard about a woman changing her FIRST name...what planet does he live on???
