franciscanheart Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 [quote name='kateri05' date='Feb 13 2006, 11:37 AM']what are the professional ramifications of taking your husband's last name? why can't they just get used to you as Mrs. someone? and i'm with Micah, it just makes me go "but why"? and i haven't heard a good enough reason yet! : [right][snapback]885805[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I'm with you on this I think. I don' t think there should be any real thought process to it haha! Just take his last name! I like that Courtney Cox became Courtney Cox-Arquette even if it was all that hyphenated business.

kateri05 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 yea, i'm with soj on the hypenated thing... cuz then your kids end up with a million letter last name and.... blah. just pick one already : also, if you have a different last name then your kids (who would presumably have the dad's last name), how do you explain to your kid why you don't match?

Jaime Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 [quote name='kateri05' date='Feb 13 2006, 11:39 AM']hot stuff, that's an interesting idea.... may i ask why? just curious, is all [right][snapback]885810[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I think if you're really going for the "two become one" idea. Then why shouldn't I make a change? If she's willing to take my name and my history, I should be willing to do the same. I just thought it would be cool.

homeschoolmom Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 What I always think if funny is when women won't take the husband's name for feminist reasons... I've had the following conversation before: She: I'm not going to take my husband's name. Why should I take his name just cuz he's a MAN?? Me: So, what name will you have? She: My current name, _____. Me: But isn't that the name your parents gave you? I mean, isn't that your dad's name? He's a man, right?

kateri05 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 hot stuff: thats neat my husband woulda never gone for it, but, then, the kids get to be Catholic and he's converting, so really, its all about picking your battles hsmom, that just proves how feminism is a totally lame and idiotic attempt for women to do all the work. who wants that?? let men hold doors and be breadwinners and take care of us : silly feminists. and micah, you're yicky!
