A lot of our friends have been getting married in the past couple years. And almost all of the women have been taking their husbands' names. And it's wigging me out!
I mean, it's their choice. And I don't have any problem with any indivudual situation -- and, for that matter, most of the folks have specific reasons for doing so -- they hate their birth name, they hate their birth family, they have 9,458 siblings while their husband is the only Xrrybrgfield in existence and they think the name is cool . . . it's the aggrigate effect that's bugging me.
Heck, at this point, the fact that one of my friends gave me the reason, "In my family, women have always taken their husband's names, and ever since I was a small child, I knew I would, so there wasn't a question for me," was a relief in a way. . .
