An exceptionally valid reason
An exceptionally valid reason
(Not that it requires a justification either way. It's a personal choice.)
My bio teachers last name was "MoCock." His wife's first name is "Love."We just called him,"Mr. Mo". I think it's crazy she took his name, lmao.
I know a girl named Paige that married a man with the last name Page.
We call her Page 2. It’s also fun when they disagree and I ask if they can get on the same page.
I had a job in data management where I came across someone whose name is Wandaholmes Holmes.
My parents know a lady names Kelly who married a man with the last name Kelley. Kelly Kelley.
Please tell me they double barreled it
I kept my name when I got married but I probably would have changed my name if I was her.
Poway?
Yeah, 2015 (kind of). How's the couch? Apparently, Mr. Bojangles is still alive. I'm on the couch too, no judgment lol. Also, he's really kind if you hit him up. PM me. I don't want to get doxxed. I'm not sure if that means anything to you. If you know me, you can look at my username and know who I am. I say some pretty radical stuff on lemmy, so I'd prefer to keep my cards to my chest.
I never thought I would mind changing my last name when getting married until it actually happened, and I was surprisingly emotional about it. It felt like I was erasing my identity or something, a totally unexpected feeling that came out of nowhere. It was also weird to have to change my signature after having it for so many years.
We ended up getting divorced 7 years later and I reclaimed my maiden name, and needless to say, if I ever get married again, I will not be changing my last name. It was also a nightmare of paperwork to change it (both to get married and divorced), and I don't want to do that yet again.

My wife and I have been married for a few years now and the pharmacy still has her name hyphenated as maidenname-legalname because that was the only way to get the prescriptions consistently processed by insurance
My sister's first marriage didn't go well, and her name finally got changed from her maiden name to her married name like the week after they filed for divorce.
Changes my name to McMoney
Looks for rich woman to marry and offer her my last name as incentive
Some determitive nominalism.
I was treated by a Dr Payne once ... contrary to his name, he wasn't a pain.
Wouldn't this be reverse nominative determinism?
Ya know... I thought about that later, too. Not sure about intentionally getting married to someone with a last name that fits your profession, though.
My dudes… Dr. Strange is my new neighbor!
She’s a veteran… but I’m kind of an animal so I figure it should be OK 😎
Also; 2 cats, one of which is definitely smarter than the average bear… the other, is orange.
Veterinarian?
Yeah, probably I’m pretty bad at spelling stuff ☺️
Holy shit I love that for her. I'd give up my name too
inversion of nominal determinism?
Imagine making yourself a pun.
