Ok thanks, so your name is his business since he placed so some importance on you having his name. I guess you are the more flexible openminded one.

My name is not his business, but I chose to compromise since I did not have an issue with taking his name, just with giving up my own. That's mawwiage. But yes, I am the more flexible, openminded one.

I had a hard time changing my name. My husband would have been fine either way. It was something I chose to do. His was the more unique name so that figured into it (and for purely shallow reasons it's French sounding and goes better with my French first name). If my name was the less common one, I probably would not have changed it.
I kept my original last name as a middle name.

I was always teased or given a weird look when I had to tell people my last name, so I couldn't wait to get it changed. I loved my father and the name suited him, but it just didn't suit me. I'm not particularly fond of my husbands last name, and he isn't close to his father or that side of his family, so I kinda wish we would've made up a new name. But I just took his name- less hassle.

That's fine, though. You know what is important to you, and you should by all means stick with that.

I kept my name because it's super cool: Martini. There was never any question about my changing it. My full name is also my business name, my website url, email address and I had it for 29 years before I got married, so I was a bit attached. I met Jane Fonda once and she actually asked me if it was my real name. :^)
I do get a little annoyed when people address stuff to me as if I had my husband's name and it sucks to pick up packages for him at the post office. I always have to bring his passport.

Oh yes, Martini is a keeper! In fact, we are in no way related and I'm not planning on marrying you but I wouldn't mind taking your last name anyway.

Seriously, you are very attractive!

Crone has gotten a bad name, but it's just part of the normal phases of a woman's life. It comes from the old pagan goddess trinity...maid, matron, crone. It appeared in many cultures, way before christianity.

OED seems to agree with you, in terms of first written usage. But I think it may be a word that took on a negative meaning over time because it's associated with women. There was a time when you'd also be a mistress!

I kept my last name originally. Then, after my son was born we had issues with the hospital since the baby always gets the mom's last name. They would not change his hospital records for about a month, until I had physical proof of his name, and it was a hassel for DH to come and see him..
DS and I both have our names...
first name, middle name, my maiden name, DH's last name
we use my maiden name as a second middle name
