got a wedding invitation

[jsdspif]

my nephew.so it looks like they are taking a portion of each of their last names and joining them together to make a new name for themselves using the new name they made. Have you ever heard of that? I wonder if that's even legal? Other than that not much going on here. I discovered the other day my pig's eyeball was missing so the neighbor came over and doublechecked my diagnosis and agreed so he took care of her for me. I wasn't really upset because she must have been terribly uncircumcized to say the least. You couldn't tell unless you had a straight line of site to her face,i saw it from about 80 feet away,the neighbor got on the ground to look at it.Standing over her you couldn't see the injury,so I don't know what ,how or when it happened.I had been really watching her lately because she had days when she wouldn't put weight on her front leg.so no more pig. she was about 10 years old,that's about the average for a mini pig.

Depends on the state, but in most, yes it is. All states decades back stopped the practice of forcing women to change their name at marriage to the husband's. When we got married here in Orange County FL, my wife in fact took the opportunity to take her birth name back after over 30 years of having someone else's name, and the clerk said I also had the chance to change my name if I wanted to anything I desired. My wife wanted to live what's left of her life with her own damn name, and that's perfectly fine with me, why not. My first wife didn't change her name, either, they don't do that sort of thing where she's from.

My son got married a few weeks back, he and his new wife are considering hyphenating their names together. His mother and I collared him with a long ass name of mine-hers, Spanish style. He usually just goes by my name, dropping hers, but legally he has eight full syllables to write out. So he and his new wife are thinking of my last name plus her step-father's name, but reversing it. He'd be hers-his, and she'd be his-hers. And then his name would legally be a -lot- shorter, three syllables. The remaining question is, what about the kid(s)?

These days you can legally change up with whatever you want as long as the judge doesn't consider it distasteful or obnoxious.

[stonedmegman]

We hyphenate here all the time.

City + idiots = citiots

Tourists + morons = tourons

too many consonants and not enough vowels in her maiden name?

I know a lot of women who decided to change their name on marriage due to hating their birth name or because of their own feelings on marriage unity, whatever. It's none of my business and don't care, and it's their own decision to change it by a conscience choice. Just not something I think the government should be have any involvement in. It's not like women are chattel these days.

When my wife got married in Iowa back in '70 to her first husband, it was mandated by law, she had no say in it, and the marriage license immediately made her known going from Miss Birth to Mrs Married. It was a name she hated (long story), but held on to it for 14 years until she remarried due to how hard it is to go back changing records. Then she got strapped with even a worse name (a six syllable Italian name) for 21 years until she married me. A marriage license makes it really easy to change a name, nobody can argue with it. It was one of my two wedding gifts to her, she getting her birth name back and paying off the balance of her mortgage, and I was more than happy to do both for her.

Sort of. She's traditional that way plus her maiden name is pretty long so it was something she looked forward to.

There’s the tolerant racism that resides in each leftist. Well done, Rick!

OK, well if you say so. A heavily under-reported culture here in Orlando is the Brazilians. And yea, I know you spell it with an "s", not a "z". There are lots of Brazilians here, and their restaurants are becoming more known, including two huge steak houses and pizza shops. The guy who knocked down the big lot across from us is named Joao, and he intends on building houses for fellow Brazilians, which is OK by me. Unlike some of the cultures living in this neighborhood, I think we can do with more Brazilians, to be honest. Like the (dot head) Indians, they move in and make the neighborhood better for it, and make the trash move out.

But one thing I've learned is they do -not- appreciate being called Latinos because of the Hispanic association. They don't appreciate being compared to Puerto Ricans, Cubans, or even Colombians, another large but unknown culture here. Maybe it's different where you are (Dallas, Arizona?), where a Brazilian is possibly a one-in-a-million type person. But it's not the same here. The Koreans feel the same way, they dislike their culture and food being compared to the Chinese.

I guess the more proper term would be Hispanic, as most of my ancestry is traced back to the Iberian Peninsula. Latino is a good term for Central and South Americans that have indigenous blood in them
