But alas, we are now entering the world where our professional lives tend to trump our personal ones. Maybe you guys could change your last names to Henneward and then hypenate so that you each keep your professional names so (Henneward-Hennessey and Henneward-Woodward)!Jocelyn (Cheechako)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17979622942824555002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2728517173537850159.post-84476079793955589812011-07-13T17:40:08.059+02:002011-07-13T17:40:08.059+02:00i keep trying to convince chrissy that if we get m...i keep trying to convince chrissy that if we get married we should change our last names to Henneward (Hennessey + Woodward), as a symbolic committment. She refuses, for reasons you wrote about. I am sad. Publications (minor ones for both of us) trump symbols of our love. sniffle.<br /><br />but i totally agree with you about how weird it is when one person changes their name, their identity, and the other person (overwhelmingly a man) does not. Bizarre, and symbolic of repression.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03858316539654259165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2728517173537850159.post-73610703742592101912011-07-03T21:35:09.646+02:002011-07-03T21:35:09.646+02:00Right on, Jocelyn!

I have tried it both ways and I found losing your name is tough...I allowed losing my name to lead to losing my way in life...now I feel blessed to share my life with a husband who loves me, my name, and all that goes with it. Thank you for expressing this decision in such a genuine way. I miss hiking with you! cjCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15787024583156941381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2728517173537850159.post-74933493144419212582011-06-23T10:20:54.997+02:002011-06-23T10:20:54.997+02:00Yes ma'am, having just one certainty is awesom...Yes ma'am, having just one certainty is awesome.
