What I read
After fighting with my quizzes at my school, I had my spare time for doing my homework from AUA. I started to find the video that I'm interested, but I can't, so I changed to open BBC news and findind the article that I satisfied to. Then I got it ! It's said "Why I took my wife's last name ?" in the stories section. This interested me because this is such a strange story for me. I have never seen married men use their wife's last name.

What it says
Rory, a primary school teacher, changed his last name from Mr Cook to Mr Dearlove. It caused some confusion to his student because they always see a few female teachers change thier last names when they got married - but never a man. There are many discussions about his decision. Some people say that it's kind of weird, however, some people say that he's a modern man. He answered the questions about his decision that changing his surname to Dearlove wasn't difficult and he wasn't massively attached to the name Cook and it doesn't any difference to him for his work.

Is it wired to changed your surname to your wife's surname, if you were men ? Many people think this is kind of strange,but in my opinion he is such a cool guy, because there are few married men decide to change their last name, however he is not scared to his decision and being brave for changing.In Thailand, the wives basically change their last name to husband's last name, but some married women decide to use their owns. I have never seen the married men change theirs before, but I think there is a few men did it.
From my point of view, I think that the guys who change their last name are having their own reasons and it doesn't make something getting worse. So, if they feel comfortable to do it, then do it.
I had missed the article that Best chose to blog. It was an interesting read with my morning coffee. I like the idea of people being free to change their names if they want, and "Dearlove" does sound a bit more interesting then "Cook".
ReplyDeletePeople often use different names, for example on social media. Although I use my real name on Facebook because I want family and friends to be able to find me, I use a pseudonym on Twitter, the same one I often write under elsewhere. This has always been common, even Harry Potter's J. K. Rowling used a pseudonym to write her later works.
And now I'm wondering what it even means to say that one name, the one my parents gave me, is any more real than any other name. It's the one with the most legal recognition, but should the state be dictating what people call themselves?
I totally with best thought, changing your surname to your life partner one needs a lot of bravery since it confront with many question and gossip. those thing might make you feel lose to your way and brake your relationship. In fact, changing surname of husband can be counted as the honoring and giving the respect to their partner. It also shows that your love is stronger than anything even their background. this issue sounds like a romantic novel, I love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks you
Wow! It is so strange, and I have ever heard a story like this before. I think that although men really love his wife, he will never use his wife's last name, so this story is shocked me.
ReplyDeleteIt's quiet weird for me because women usually change her last name when she got married. I'm actually agree with this man's opinion that last name is not affect to his work.Thank you for this interesting article .
