What a fag.

[svcw]

Hum? I am not sure I beleive this. When I got married, I just changed my drivers license and social security card, that was it.
A couple we know changed the husband’s middle name to her last name, so they were both hyphenated with the same name.
They never had an issue.
Well, every state has their own rules about this I guess.

Tradition isn’t law.......

"But she's the only surviving kid with her parents, and everybody said my name wrong. It was a dual reason. Now all I have to do is worry about people misspelling it."

How many ways are there to pronounce "Robert McCarthy"?!

[LibLieSlayer]

It may be a male citizen of my state but it is no MAN.

I didn’t know the ability to legally change your name was a matter that put tradition over law, and to the law it should only be whether the proper paperwork is filed - the name is merely a matter of the person’s choice; their choice, not the choice of “tradition”.

As someone who has looked into their own family’s genealogy, I have learned from friends with Spanish surnames that some of their searches were made easier by ancestors who gave their children names that contained the “surnames” of both parents.

[VanDeKoik]

Whatever.

He should be free to change his surname to whatever he wants.

Some of Hitler’s relatives did the same thing.

[Vendome]

I think the guy’s a poosy for doing it but, there’s no real reason why he shouldn’t be allowed to, nor should there be any law against it.

[longtermmemmory]

his new name must be “eunach”

[Jim from C-Town]

I am not sure of the laws, but I do know that a very nice girl I actualy dated for a while, married her husband around ten years ago here in Cleveland, OH and he took her last name. He did so because he had an unfortunate last name that he always disliked.

[Revolting cat!]

Miss. man allowed to change name

So he goes by Miss Man now?

[moovova]

I’m guessing there’s a sex change operation in the near future for “one” of the spouses in this marriage. I wonder which one it’ll be...hmmmm.

[Revolting cat!]

My name, I recently learned, is not really my name. What to do?

[Walmartian]

I knew a guy that changed his name from Frank Shitsplasher to George Shitsplasher.

[dixiechick2000]

As the last survivor of my given surname, I believe it was a very loving and thoughtful thing for him to do.

However, I wouldn’t ever expect anyone to do it for me. I’m into tradition.
