My family is just being stubborn. sigh hehe<BR/><BR/>j. Doe - probably a bit of both don't you think? It seems to have brought out the rebel in me. hehe<BR/><BR/>Valerie - I think you summed it up well. Stef's heritage is not mine at all. and it is nice to keep the name thtat is "you". I never thought of my name being so connected to who I was, but it really is =) heheTexas Espressohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13602268122530675926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33511300.post-52482578170124303912007-10-06T11:10:00.000+02:002007-10-06T11:10:00.000+02:00I changed my name and now wish I hadn't! Not that...I changed my name and now wish I hadn't! Not that I don't love my husband and his family, but their heritage is not *my* heritage. It is very confusing for Italians that we have the same surname. One friend, very confounded by this, asked, "but how do people know who *you* are?" Good question! I'd change it back to my own name but that would involve way too much bureaucracy.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01055759718776417654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33511300.post-88830051515498446452007-10-06T04:53:00.000+02:002007-10-06T04:53:00.000+02:00My last name didn't change either when I got marri...My last name didn't change either when I got married (because I got married in Italy). It obviously is not a problem there, but it seems to be here in the US. And none of my family addresses me correctly either. A woman takes a man's last name in marriage PERIOD. I don't know if it's due to a lack of respect to my auhority, or they are just not used to anything being different from what they are used to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33511300.post-84724945772806886112007-10-05T08:45:00.000+02:002007-10-05T08:45:00.000+02:00I HATE that I couldn't change my last name when I ...I HATE that I couldn't change my last name when I got married, but as you pointed out the ladies in these parts don't do it. I really wanted to change my name, but thought it best I go with the flow (could you imgaine how it would mess up the paperwork in Italy). I don't mind if my family adds Danilo last name to mine, but odly enough they NEVER do! Hehehehe!<BR/><BR/>Hope all is well in your part of the world. Any closer to living near me?<BR/><BR/>Cyn<BR/>ps. Opus and Roscoe would agree that the envelpoe is a great place to nap!
