Notes:

Sorry, early today!

Also: I'm not going to officially warn for tongue-in-cheek "triggers" just to provide anyone with a fandom-specific in-joke when there are none in the secret.

This is exactly how I feel, too.


And to be perfectly honest, the seed of this feeling was probably planted when I was a young girl and listened to the Tori Amos song "Mother," in which she sings, "He's gonna change my name," in a panicked whisper. It was sort of an OH SHIT moment for me -- I had never considered that before.

I don't like my surname, either, because no one can ever pronounce or spell it, and I've considered changing it to something simpler, but I am so, so resistant to the idea of changing it to a husband's surname and then, what, becoming subsumed into his family? No! That freaks me out. This is my name, my name is the label of who I am....I am [my first name] [my last name] -- [my first name] [some other last name] is some other person, not me.

Sorry, I have a lot of feelings about this, I guess. :/

OT: I think "Mother" is a really good song about the anxieties women can have about marriage (and relationships in general).
...
Carry on.
