can i just say, that when i meet you, if you have a name, that's the name i'm always going to call you. Seriously, I'm tired of people getting married and them expecting me to remember a different name, or call them something else. I'm not bothering to update my phone, or my email address book, or anything else. However, if I met you once you are married, that's OK, b/c it's only one name to remember.
This sort of mind-set does get me in to trouble sometimes though.
thats why i just use nicknames and not real names... like... in my address book you are SoiBoi instead of Dan Hill
i tell this all to say that a sister in my hall, who's a good friend of mine, is a single parent. And her divorce was final a couple of weeks ago I guess, because she told me she has a new last name (or an old one again, depends how you look at it). And she was giving a talk, and I could not bring myself to say her new last name. (I'm the B School person). It's too much.
