Unless their last name was Buttlick or something, they deserve a lifetime of ridicule for doing that. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 20, 11:36 7
- why? -- nm - Andie Nov 20, 11:37 6
  - Because I find it ridiculous. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 20, 11:39 2
    - who cares what you think? -- nm - loosilu Nov 20, 11:40 1
      - Luke Skywalker. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 20, 11:41
  - It destroys the sanctity of marriage, Andie. Plus, it makes the woman think she's an equal to or better than her husband. -- nm - TWuG Nov 20, 11:39
  - because they're probably bottoms. Now the secret's out. -- nm - Max Nov 20, 11:38
  - It screws up family trees. - Spawn Nov 20, 11:38
I'm not saying no one ever should, but I don't want a world where that needs to be a debate and coin flip for most couples. - TFox Nov 20, 11:33 16
- welcome to the life of women. -- nm - loosilu Nov 20, 11:34
- (for men) -- nm - giganto Nov 20, 11:33 14
  - No, our exes are supposed to be able to find us. Not so for women. -- nm - Spawn Nov 20, 11:36
  - for both. most women who change their names don't have to explain why they did all the time. if that convention falls, they would. - TFox Nov 20, 11:34 12
    - ftr, i have exactly one friend who changed her name. -- nm - Andie Nov 20, 11:35 9
      - I think all of my wife's friends changed their names. -- nm - Reagen Nov 20, 11:43 1
        
        i really believe a big part of the choice is regional. in some places no-one does it, in others everyone does. - Andie Nov 20, 11:44
      - I would say most of my friends and relatives changed their names. -- nm - loosilu Nov 20, 11:42 1
        
        And then all had to explain their reasons why. -- nm - Jim Nov 20, 11:43
      - I think I am 12/12 for knowing couples that the female changed her name. -- nm - Spawn Nov 20, 11:42
      - Yeah, it's running just over 50% in my circle of friends. Definitely on the decline. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 20, 11:39
      - Amy! -- nm - Spawn Nov 20, 11:38 1
        
        oh, right. two friends. :) -- nm - Andie Nov 20, 11:41
      - which is fine. i'm not even saying women should. -- nm - TFox Nov 20, 11:37
    - hmmmm ... seems like my friends/family have had to explain their choice to *someone* no matter what. -- nm - loosilu Nov 20, 11:35 1
      - Seriously? Does anyone really ask for an "explanation"? - Spawn Nov 20, 11:45
