Conventions are nice. They make things simple.

- 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
