My bio teachers last name was "MoCock." His wife's first name is "Love."We just called him,"Mr. Mo". I think it's crazy she took his name, lmao.

I know a girl named Paige that married a man with the last name Page.

We call her Page 2. It’s also fun when they disagree and I ask if they can get on the same page.

I have a friend named Blair who married a man with the last name Blair. We call her "Blair Squared" and she hates it.

[-] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

At that point I’d just go full legal mononym like Cher and Teller.

Johnson-Johnson if you're nasty.

I had a job in data management where I came across someone whose name is Wandaholmes Holmes.

My parents know a lady names Kelly who married a man with the last name Kelley. Kelly Kelley.

[-] __ghost__@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 years ago

I used to have a manager named Kelly who had recently divorced a man with the last name Kelly

Kelly Kelly

Still makes me laugh

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

was she ever on ECW by chance?

[-] __ghost__@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Google says that's a wrestling circuit so no

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

there was a wrestler on ECW also named Kelly Kelly

Yeah, 2015 (kind of). How's the couch? Apparently, Mr. Bojangles is still alive. I'm on the couch too, no judgment lol. Also, he's really kind if you hit him up. PM me. I don't want to get doxxed. I'm not sure if that means anything to you. If you know me, you can look at my username and know who I am. I say some pretty radical stuff on lemmy, so I'd prefer to keep my cards to my chest.

[-] couch1potato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

Nah lol. 2005 here, i wont know you. Small world though. Mr mo was new the year I took his class. For sure on the doxxing.

Also, don't treat lemmy any different than any other site. Nobody is above being subpoenad and people hosting these instances would be, if anything, more susceptible and more pliable to law enforcement.

I kept my name when I got married but I probably would have changed my name if I was her.

[-] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 74 points 2 years ago

I never thought I would mind changing my last name when getting married until it actually happened, and I was surprisingly emotional about it. It felt like I was erasing my identity or something, a totally unexpected feeling that came out of nowhere. It was also weird to have to change my signature after having it for so many years.

We ended up getting divorced 7 years later and I reclaimed my maiden name, and needless to say, if I ever get married again, I will not be changing my last name. It was also a nightmare of paperwork to change it (both to get married and divorced), and I don't want to do that yet again.

My wife and I have been married for a few years now and the pharmacy still has her name hyphenated as maidenname-legalname because that was the only way to get the prescriptions consistently processed by insurance

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

My sister's first marriage didn't go well, and her name finally got changed from her maiden name to her married name like the week after they filed for divorce.

[-] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 years ago

Changes my name to McMoney

Looks for rich woman to marry and offer her my last name as incentive

[-] ech@lemm.ee 25 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Some determitive nominalism.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I was treated by a Dr Payne once ... contrary to his name, he wasn't a pain.

[-] salvaria 17 points 2 years ago

!nominativedeterminism@feddit.uk

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Wouldn't this be reverse nominative determinism?

[-] salvaria 4 points 2 years ago

Ya know... I thought about that later, too. Not sure about intentionally getting married to someone with a last name that fits your profession, though.

[-] sramder@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

My dudes… Dr. Strange is my new neighbor!

She’s a veteran… but I’m kind of an animal so I figure it should be OK 😎

Also; 2 cats, one of which is definitely smarter than the average bear… the other, is orange.

[-] sramder@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, probably I’m pretty bad at spelling stuff ☺️

[-] ElcaineVolta@kbin.melroy.org 8 points 2 years ago

inversion of nominal determinism?

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Holy shit I love that for her. I'd give up my name too

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Imagine making yourself a pun.
