[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I changed my name so that we all have the same name. It’s not due to serious logistical concerns, but to avoid the endless, minor corrections and clarifications throughout school and daycare years. I have a common first name with multiple common spellings and slight variations in pronunciation. I constantly have to say things like “yes, with an h” or clarify short or long vowel. I have been answering these questions for 40+ years. I married into a 12 letter, but thankfully phonetic, last name. I just could not bear dealing with my own first name, spelling out my husband/children’s name, AND explaining my name is different or hyphenated. [b]I know who I am and it doesn’t make me less of a feminist because I want my life to be simple[/b]. [/quote] totally your right and okay, we can accept this. but again, you have the sense that you would need to do the endless converations -- but we are all telling you wouldnt[/quote]
