An exceptionally valid reason
An exceptionally valid reason
(Not that it requires a justification either way. It's a personal choice.)
My bio teachers last name was "MoCock." His wife's first name is "Love."We just called him,"Mr. Mo". I think it's crazy she took his name, lmao.
I know a girl named Paige that married a man with the last name Page.
We call her Page 2. It’s also fun when they disagree and I ask if they can get on the same page.
My parents know a lady names Kelly who married a man with the last name Kelley. Kelly Kelley.
Paige Davis married Patrick Page but did not take his last name.
Please tell me they double barreled it
I kept my name when I got married but I probably would have changed my name if I was her.
I used to have a manager named Kelly who had recently divorced a man with the last name Kelly
Kelly Kelly
Still makes me laugh
Poway?
Yeah, 2015 (kind of). How's the couch? Apparently, Mr. Bojangles is still alive. I'm on the couch too, no judgment lol. Also, he's really kind if you hit him up. PM me. I don't want to get doxxed. I'm not sure if that means anything to you. If you know me, you can look at my username and know who I am. I say some pretty radical stuff on lemmy, so I'd prefer to keep my cards to my chest.
I never thought I would mind changing my last name when getting married until it actually happened, and I was surprisingly emotional about it. It felt like I was erasing my identity or something, a totally unexpected feeling that came out of nowhere. It was also weird to have to change my signature after having it for so many years.
We ended up getting divorced 7 years later and I reclaimed my maiden name, and needless to say, if I ever get married again, I will not be changing my last name. It was also a nightmare of paperwork to change it (both to get married and divorced), and I don't want to do that yet again.

Glad you got to reclaim your name, Ms. Mouse.
The nightmare of paperwork and the cluster fuck it creates for tracking people made Quebec's government change its stance on the subject in 1981 and since then people who want to do it when they get married have to go through the same process as they would have went through to change their name for any other reason and if I'm not mistaken on government IDs the women's married names were changed back to their original name.
My sister's first marriage didn't go well, and her name finally got changed from her maiden name to her married name like the week after they filed for divorce.

My wife and I have been married for a few years now and the pharmacy still has her name hyphenated as maidenname-legalname because that was the only way to get the prescriptions consistently processed by insurance
Wouldn't this be reverse nominative determinism?
Ya know... I thought about that later, too. Not sure about intentionally getting married to someone with a last name that fits your profession, though.
Some determitive nominalism.
I was treated by a Dr Payne once ... contrary to his name, he wasn't a pain.
Holy shit I love that for her. I'd give up my name too
inversion of nominal determinism?
I had a roommate who was in med school. He wanted to be a psychiatrist. His surname was Carver, so naturally he became a surgeon.
Changes my name to McMoney
Looks for rich woman to marry and offer her my last name as incentive
Imagine making yourself a pun.
My dudes… Dr. Strange is my new neighbor!
She’s a veteran… but I’m kind of an animal so I figure it should be OK 😎
Also; 2 cats, one of which is definitely smarter than the average bear… the other, is orange.
Veterinarian?
Yeah, probably I’m pretty bad at spelling stuff ☺️
