I never liked my middle name, so I was very happy to get rid of it and move LeGrand (which I've always liked) to its place. I didn't mind taking Nick's last name, but might have felt a little differently if his was boring. :-) Danielle L Zecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01492742250595537348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630132134007055932.post-9008542283308433272015-04-15T09:20:44.227-04:002015-04-15T09:20:44.227-04:00You would think people would get that by now!

Third marriage (finally one that doesn't cheat) I kept my name because I was done with the back and forth... 25 years later, I'm still saying, Yes we're married, I just kept my birth name.

Hubby's name could be spelled at the end "en" or "on"; his is "on" so we are always spelling it but at least it is easier to pronounce. My sister kept her maiden name, didn't hyphenate it with her husband's name. I would imagine it had to be interesting with the kids, who had the dad's name, with things like at school, doctors' appointments, etc., but she made it work :)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630132134007055932.post-5149422861582968662015-04-14T21:47:04.478-04:002015-04-14T21:47:04.478-04:00I took my hubby's last name - it's traditi...I took my hubby's last name - it's tradition, and I'm a traditional kinda gal :) :)Lisa Loves Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08527547740788371816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630132134007055932.post-32516711550977190642015-04-14T19:11:28.417-04:002015-04-14T19:11:28.417-04:00Kennedy family of dolls:Hina Dolls Return to Japan...Kennedy family of dolls:Hina Dolls Return to Japan <br />“U.S. Embassy – Tokyo, Japan “Got it.<br />ryoma2sakamoto.wordpress.com<br />https://youtu.be/wrUZ-TdvWpkRyoma Sakamoto.Japanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728147558960078304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630132134007055932.post-29341705269945921232015-04-14T16:20:42.133-04:002015-04-14T16:20:42.133-04:00I know what you mean, funny how different things a...I know what you mean, funny how different things are in 2015!

Mostly because (although I don't have anything major published yet) I've already kind of got a writer presence going with that name. Also because my fiance has a sister named Sarah, and that's just a really complicated story in itself. If I do take his name I'll probably keep using my maiden name for my writing. I just don't like the idea of hyphenating the two for some reason. <br /><br />I love that hybrid idea! I feel like it would only work with certain names, though.
