Whenever i have seen it on Facebook i just assumed bitches added their Maiden name to middle name spot so old friends could still find them if they searched for them.


I did this on fb for this reason

Yeah, I'd say 99% of my female friends dropped their birth middle name and use their maiden name as their middle name.

Except for women with double names.

Like Mary Elizabeth Smith - she goes by "Mary Elizabeth".

She marries Bob James and then her new name is Mary Elizabeth Smith James.

My daughter will have to do this. She goes by both names and her middle name is my maiden name. So when she gets married she'll have three "last names".

I love a last name as a middle name.

Chalk it up to being born in the 70s I guess My first name very popular that year and Lynn was also a very popular middle name in the South in the 70s.

Yeah I've always loved my maiden name because it's not a common last name at all. My coworkers still call me by my maiden name at work.

I always thought women kept their original middle name, adopted their new last name, and perhaps in conversation might refer to themselves as Sara Smith-Jones etc.

This is done so that they can be found on Facebook or some other social media. They need to have 1,135 make believe friends

I honestly have RARELY heard of them dropping their middle name in exchange for their maiden.

Must be where you're from, because I can't think of a woman who kept her original middle name.

Why's that? Would you have a problem if she went from AEW to AWM?

I have no problem if a woman doesn't want to lost her maiden name. However, many of these same women still expect a man to pay 3 months salary for a ring and him to get down on one knee....see THEN it's still about tradition.

I've always hated my middle name(Lynn.

Ditto exactly for Mrs. Füt.

It is a weird tradition upon reflection but I never considered taking her name or letting her hyphenate for any kids we might have.

It's odd, the Burke's peerage hyphenated names like St. Althuny-des Bois from Britain sounds like a cool name but Rodham-Clinton should be the name of a strain of vaginitis.

that's what I did. I didn't know that it was the standard, I just didn't want to drop my maiden name.

women keeping their maiden name as their new middle name are no different than the hyphenated last name crowd

it's either gone or it's not
