14 Apr 00 - 10:37 PM (#212053) Subject: Hyphenated last names From: MarkS Since we are having so much fun with the colloquialism thread, thought it might be fun to try something else. The growing custom of the female in a marriage of using a hyphenated last name instead of taking the males last name leads to all kinds of interesting possibilities. In my school class, Ms. Linda Poore was an item with Mr. Richard House. If they would marry...... Any other ideas? |

We thought of being the Reidowitts, or the Arnoreids, but it just didn't seem right. Mostly we just use our own. Michael swears he went to school with someone named Claire Annette Reid, and there is, of course the Ima Hogg piano competition in Texas. Then there's my cousin Candice (candy) married to Hamilton (Ham) nice combination, don't you think. |
