When my divorce comes through I'm changing my name. My birth name is anglicised Eastern European, and it's a bit weird so I'm not going back to that as ordering pizzas and taxis has been much easier in my married name. I'm going to use my grandmother's maiden name, which is quite simple to spell, but also is a fresh start. My grandmother is very inspiring to me, as she emigrated from Ireland after being widowed, stood up to her in laws that tried to take her husband's business from her and made a new life for herself. That's what I'm gonna do. If I get married again in the future (a BIG if) I'm going to keep the name that I've chosen to myself, and if my theoretical fiancé doesn't like it, then he can just jog on.

Honestly taking a man's surname and giving it to kids as well seems stupid in a world where women do majority of work in a relationship and childrearing. He didn't do anything to earn it. Men just claim women and children as their property and put his surname stamps on them for no reason. Is that an attempt to remind him that this is his new family and that he should actually try and care about them, or what? Not to mention women being judged for marital status with all the ”Miss, Mrs., Ms.” garbage. Why does a woman's relationship with a man status matter so much, but his with a woman is not important and he gets a universal ”Mr.”?

Why would you even ask this rude question of your doctor? Because she wants to use her maiden name....duh.

My mom's name is legally [Maiden]-[Married], but she still practices under her maiden name for the same reason. She's an impressive lady.

Excellent.

In Vietnamese culture females never take their husbands name. My mother always said it is because a man can never own you, and that your name references your royal heritage.

I’ve met so many European scrotes that are surprised by this cultural phenomenon. I will never think Colonization is sexy. 🤮🤮

so she practices with her father's name instead.

i'm thinking of changing my name to something completely random to break the cycle before i get my phd.

My children can take my husband's last name but I'm definitely keeping mine. I'm not even going to hyphenate my last name and his. We can be called "the *his last name* family" or Mr and Mrs *his last name* but the name on all my official documents and records remain mine.

In my option these put options are rather dangerous long term. For now I’d switch to covered calls. Join theta gang and take advantage of the sideways market. There is little upside so I wouldn’t venture into calls. If you have them hold onto them for sure.
