Weekly Randoms (10/2)

Re: Weekly Randoms (10/2)

  • @Gretchypoo @krob really?!!! How do you write that? Is it generally your maiden name first or...?

    In San Diego when we were getting married at the courthouse, they told me nope. Also told me the only way to change my middle name was to my maiden name or to go to court if I wanted it hyphenated etc. Then again people are human and they might've told me the wrong Info.

    On another note- has anyone seen the video going around facebook with the ring & hair trick to tell you the number of kids & sex they'll be?? Can we please try this out and see whose is right? Haha. Mine said two boys, one girl and in that order, so far we're right on track! Of course all in fun, but so far it's been accurate for the three other friends that have tried it! Here's the video:  https://www.facebook.com/meghan.l.gilliland/posts/10154555395476704
  • @kirstynikole I'll try that ring and hair thing in a little bit and get back with you!!

  • @krob Two last names FTW!

    @kirstynikole I kept my middle name bc it honors my grandmothers. I kept my "maiden" name bc its my name and I had a professional reputation built around it. But I also wanted to have the same last name as my kids. So, here's how it looks:

    First Middle Maiden Married. 

    It is quite a mouthful (each is 2 syllables) and there are issues. Like, doctors offices dont like 2 last names. So I never know if I'm under B or W or if they've hyphenated it. So far it hasn't been an issue for insurance, thank goodness. Also, it is long, like, when we bought our house, my last name wouldn't fit in the boxes on the application for a loan. So we had to put in an amendment.

    Bonuses: I kept my name and people who knew me as Maiden name, recognize me now. Also, it sounds super fancy :wink:
  • @krob, that's how my name works too. No middle name, two last names. Some things, like my payroll at work, they have the last name I was born with as a "middle name" and I don't see the point in fighting with them too much, it's not worth the hassle, plus they don't care that I teach using what is in their eyes "Ms Middle Name". But on official official documents, it's First name Last name1 Last name2
  • @kirstynikole I'd bet it probably varies by State/County. DH's parents had that problem when they named him. He is Hispanic and they wanted to give him a middle name, and then his mothers maiden name and his fathers name as his two last names. The county wouldn't allow it, so to get around the issue they just gave him to middle names (his actual middle name and his mothers maiden name). So, same order and still sounds the same when rattled off, but TECHNICALLY he only has one last name.

    ME: 25, DH: 27

  • I have been in line at chipotle for 20 minutes. What the heck?! Even long lines are usually so quick. This ish better be fresh as hell...
  • I literally thought to myself a few weeks ago that Hispanic names seemed to have two last names. So glad I know what it means now! It's a cool idea. I'm still my given middle name, dropped my maiden name when I got married. My maiden name was super common and also I had brothers, so I didn't feel overly attached 
  • My maiden name would of been terrible to hyphenate. 
  • @kswiger06 lol can you tell I was bored. I'm wondering if somehow your subconscious affects it? Of course I know it holds no merit but it was fun to try.  
  • @kirstynikole obviously I don't put much into that ring thing, but I did it lol... first I DO have a boy, girl, pregnant with boy (according to ultrasound) the ring thing got me boy, girl, girl, then it did stop. Soooo according to that ring I should be having a girl, not a boy and that I won't have anymore.... we haven't decided on that yet so we will see lol :)

  • I think we are going to drop DD back to 3 hours a day for preschool. With me being home and feeling better, and it not being triple digit weather I can't really justify having her gone 6 hours a day. 
  • @Spicyweiner but you were living my dream
  • I've been having crazy dreams... they come in spurts. 2 nights ago I dreamt of sex with my husband... normally in those dreams it's not him lol and last night I dreamt I kicked a neighbor off our property and told him he's not welcome back. And I like that neighbor! I wonder what awaits me tonight

    I have a double name that is my first and middle name combined. I've always gone by both and written it as one word. So when I got married I tried to combine my first and middle name then move my maiden into the middle name slot. I was so upset when they told me I can't change my own first name without going to court. So I just put my maiden name as a second middle name because I was thrown off and didn't really know what to do. I completely regret that now because my official name is 8 syllables long and doesn't fit on any forms.

    I hope that's makes sense. It's  a little hard to explain without giving out my complete name.
  • Re: ring trick. Mine said 4 girls. And that last run may have been twins. I am pregnant with girl number 3 and 99% sure I am DONE.

    Same here! My parents gave me 2 first names and never gave my family name as my last name.  (They did this to all of us.) 
    AND everyone calls me by my last name.  It's been a lifetime of confusion.  
    I had figured I would just fix it when I get married but they told me I have to go to court to change my first name.  GAHHHHH!! 
    So I ended up just using my original last name as my middle name and stuck on husbands at the end. Now I still have to explain to people why I like to be called by my middle name.  


  • Your shower is so early!  Good luck today. 
  • Good luck, @AfKash! I hope all goes well and that they are mature enough to set it all aside in celebration of you and your little one.
