[quote=Anonymous]OP: Your political take on marital naming conventions has been roundly rejected by those nearest and dearest to you. They don't agree that it's cool for a bride to keep her last name, so subconsciously, or consciously, they write the checks out to you with the name that you "should" have, according to them. You may not like this obvious reality, but are you really clueless as to the "why" of it? I'll bet you're pretty shrill politically at various family gatherings too, so they probably giggle a little when they give you the "wrong" (according to you) last name on the check. The sweet irony of it--if you want the money, you have to take the check with the "wrong" (according to you) last name. Another way of looking at it is no matter what you think your name should be, if they call you something different, then not too much you can do about it. I'm thinking it's something about "you" that makes them keep "forgetting."[/quote]
