Some red-tape problems could occur with multiple identities; however, names, like the times, change with other conventions.Frank Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18214921895704057150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8352780903142089915.post-91916242040081683472009-11-10T06:17:21.994-08:002009-11-10T06:17:21.994-08:00I took my husband's name, even though he had t...I took my husband's name, even though he had told me to do whatever I wished. He did say that he would like me to take his name, because he wanted the world to know that I married him. (Notice, he didn't say 'that he married me'.) I still think of myself as a Beeler, the name change didn't change that. I can see why established people do so, but don't like it. Eva Longoria Parker has earned a lot of respect from me. She and her husband are both famous in their own right, but she added, not took, his name. It's a nod to both herself and her husband.Brandihttp://www.daughterofthemidwest.comnoreply@blogger.com
