Gift of names
Today I just want to share something I read at one my favorite sites. If you were at all interested in the great last name debate from earlier this year (and if you haven’t read it yet, it’s long but it’s good), you should check out the latest from Hollywood. I guess, as a birthday gift to her husband, Sarah Michelle Gellar changed her name, after five years of marriage, to Sarah Michelle Prinze.
I’ll reserve comment, but I really like what Ann had to say, so go one, click it!
It would have been better if Freddie had changed his last name at the same time. Freddie Gellar Jr. Only they wouldn’t know the other one was doing it, so it’d be all Gift of the Magi up in the Gellar/Prinze house. But no, it was only she giving the “gifts” this year.

I had to sit by and watch as my sister went through this when she got married. It was truly frustrating to see that she wanted to keep her last name but felt she had a duty to make her new husband happy by taking his.

I gave in and changed my name but it wasn’t easy. I still, however, argue if anyone calls me Mrs {husbands full name]. HATE IT. I hate that so much that his mother was actually offended by it.
