    Go for it anyway. If this girl is so shallow to reject someone for something stupid like that, she’s not worth it and Anon dodged a bullet.

      It’s also pretty common for women to not change their last name. Hell, they might find it amusing to be called something like Stephanie Stephenson or whatever.

    “You wouldn’t like being called anon anon, would you?”

    Why do women still take their husband’s name in the first place? The practice has been banned since 1981 over here and some people go get married the next province over so the woman can change her family name but when the couple comes back home they still have to use their original name for any interaction with the government and that’s what’s on their government delivered ID, it’s fucking ridiculous.

      I’m fine with a woman choosing not to change her name, but banning the practice altogether seems a bit weird.

        It’s not from a governmental perspective, it complicates everything whenever people change their name and tracking files between ministries becomes a nightmare.

        Heck, I had a client from the next province over and that lady had to show me three pieces of ID before we found one where her last name matched her proof she got vaccinated and the only one that did match wasn’t a legal piece of ID! She still had her late husband’s name on one, the name of her new husband on another and her maiden name on the last one.

          This is one of the good things about Social Security numbers in the US. Doesn’t matter what your name is, you’re still a number.

            Yeah but it wasn’t meant to be a piece of ID, heck it doesn’t have a picture on it, and we also have a social security number in Canada and there’s a name associated to it.

      Why shouldn’t they? They take everything else, the house, the car, the kids, the gardener…
