I like her writing and admire her willingness to be provocative. Thanks for the link.

thanks for the link. i enjoyed the read.

In reposne to ‘alesse’ question, I’ve not decided if I will change my name after I have kids since they will be carrying my husbands’ surname. My sister kept her maiden name and she recently had a baby girl. Maya goes by her dad’s surname but that didn’t cause my sister to change her name to my brother-in-law’s surname. Plus, there is no confusion to whether Maya is her daughter at her day-care, social gathering and etc. :o)

I moved to Chile 10 years ago and I love the naming system here….

Maiden names don’t exist you never lose your name.
You are a born with a paternal-maternal last name and die with them.
My full name is Katherine R Guzman Gonzalez.
Guzman being my dads surname and Gonzalez my mums.
In most Spanish Speaking countries the mother’s surname is part of your name and comes after your fathers surname.
My children will have their given names, their father’s last name and then Guzman.
So if your name is mary and your dads surname is smith and mums was jones
you’ll be mary smith jones till you die.
If your husband is john Williams your kids will be baby Williams Smith.
Always paternal followed by maternal and those cant be touched.
