I will not do business with a women that hyphenates her last name (1 Viewer)

[TLEF316]

Even worse is women who have an hyphenated name and clap when their airplane lands.

I'm not sure why, but I found this absolutely hysterical

 

[ChiefD]

My brother's wife insisted on hyphenated names. She didn't want to change her last name totally because she's a high school teacher "and her students already know her as Ms. Maiden Name." So, she hyphenated it so they could still call her by her maiden name. She also said changing her name was too big of an issue with computer logins, etc, for work. She didn't want to go through that hassle.

So she made my brother hyphenate his name. So, he gets to deal with the questions of being a mid 40s male with a hyphenated name (much more common for the subsequent generation) and he changed his work email, logins, etc.

jesus h. This guy makes moops look like a bastion of testosterone.

Holy hell. Yeah, no sack at all. Just reading that story and not knowing him personally, I want to punch him in the face.

I can still remember me when he called me to talk about this decision. He asked how wussy of him it was. I remember telling him "you're my brother, I'm not going to give you crap about it, but you're going to need to be prepared for the crap you'll get from other people."

Man, if my brother would have called me asking about this when he got married, I would have sent him a box of tampons, an apron, and a dishrag.

If we dont draw the line at hyphenation next they are going to want to do things like vote and go to college

Its a slippery slope

 

[Premier]

Mr. Cross has the best shtick going here.

 

[culdeus]

I thought the trendy thing to do was to not hyphenate, but take the husbands name as the middle name. Then you could get away with calling yourself First Middle or First Last depending on what the situation called for.

Ephesians 5:22

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

Now think about just how old that is and get back to us...

Then imagine she is black.

Hmmm, this IS good shtick.

He's my older brother, and a general #####. I don't spend much time worrying about him. That would have been funny, but would have required too much thought.

My wife couldn't hyphenate her last name even if she wanted to, our last names are borderline ridiculous, combined they would have beyond ridiculous, without giving it away basically it would be Swamp-Fowl.

My wife never her changed her last name. I fell in love with her with the name she had, so really didn't care if she changed it. My kids all have hyphenated last names.

An eagle isnt a fowl and ive never heard of that being a last name

 

[Black Box]

I find it offensive and oppressive that the man's last name usually goes first when hyphenating last names.

 

[Clown Car]

I was talking about this with someone a while back and she gave me the best idea ever - a real "if I had a time machine I'd do it" kind of idea. There are pros and cons to either person changing their name... and many people look at forcing one person to change his or her (his or her? Let's be honest, it's always her) name as an oppressive action. Why should the woman be forced to give up her identity and assume the identity of her husband? But you don't want to have a family with two different last names. Forcing the man to adopt the woman's identity is just as oppressive.

So pick a new name. The two people involved get together and decide on a completely new last name. You want to embark on a new life together? Awesome - make it a new life together. I wish I'd thought of that 12 years ago before we got married.

I read about a couple who did 20 years ago. One was brown, one was Goldstein. So they both changed to sienna. At the same time I had a friend getting married and discussing the name change issue. I suggested this idea and a suggestion for them both to change to. Her maiden name was collard. His name was windmueller. I suggested saur kraut.

I'm not one to worry about tradition. I'll probably have 20 different grand kids, so its a good chance they'll have 20 different names.

It wasn't long ago my people didn't even have last names so they were given them based on their job or where they lived. This might not be so bad. I would be happy going back to the old way myself.

 

[Eminence]

If she cannot commit to the man she loves more than anybody in the world, I do not trust her. She is too self centered and self involved. She will take advantage of you if she can.

This is 100% correct. Good job man.

So you love gay people but hate women...

I blame most of it on Tiffani-Amber Thiessen.

My daughter, getting sick of writing her hyphenated name, asked me yesterday if she can just use my last name. "Of course!"

 

[DSP]

She will always be kelly kapowski to me

 

[Thunderlips]

What if the woman simply keeps her last name?

I got more respect for that. I also got more respect if they BOTH just choose a random new last name (not that that happens). It's lame when they BOTH take the hyphenated or she hyphenates.

 

[trogg78]

The most irritating thing about it is that my wife's last name is almost identical to my first name. So people think my first and last name are the same.
