In Altering Course, Elim Garak is willing to become Elim Bashir (as a result of Julian's status as Federation Ambassador to Cardassia giving his family name precedence due to higher status), but not terribly enthusiastic about it, and after actually discussing it, they decide to just keep their original surnames.Hypothetical, who's gone through this debate well in advance, and Took the Wife's Name, where the husband changes his name to the wife's instead. Compare Nom de Mom, where the woman did change her name, and her offspring changed it back. The term "bachelor name" has been coined as the Spear Counterpart to a woman's maiden name, but is not in common use. It's not unheard of for one partner to take the other's name, but it may lead to the unwelcome perception that the one who changed their name is the "wife" in the relationship.īetween same-sex marriage and the increasing frequency of men taking their wives' names instead of vice versa, there has been the growing question of how a married man should refer to his unmarried name if applicable. The most common solutions are for the spouses to simply keep their original names or to hyphenate. Since there is no traditional protocol to follow, it's up to each couple to choose a solution that works for them. With same-sex marriage becoming legal in many parts of the world these days, the problem with applying this practice to a same-sex couple is obvious. One example that comes to mind is Phylicia Rashad, who divorced Ahmad in 2001 but has kept the name, both personally and professionally. If she's divorced, she may go back to her maiden name, but she might not if the married name is tied to her career or she still thinks kindly on the marriage while acknowledging it needed to end. If she's widowed, she'll usually keep the married name unless and until she remarries. Whether a married woman reverts to her maiden name after marriage usually depends on how it ends. Naturally, this trope only applies in countries/cultures where the wife traditionally takes her husband's last name upon marriage. For instance, Sarah Michelle Gellar is officially Sarah Michelle Prinze. Many female performers split the difference by using their maiden name as their stage name while taking their husband's surname for legal purposes. This is partly due to working in an industry where your name is your brand, and partly due to the typical brevity of celebrity marriages. Particularly applies if you're a media personality. Robin Wright Penn is not the same as Robin Wright-Penn, and this can cause quite a bit of annoyance as hyphenated names gain more prominence over time, while the "maiden name as middle name" falls out of favor. Note that this is different from the more modern solution of a hyphenated name. maybe that's not the most relevant case). It's still done today, as was the case with Robin Wright when she was married to Sean Penn (well. Less often, there is the issue of the aesthetics of the name: should Rhea Mills have to be saddled with ridicule for the rest of her life for having married Robert Peer? (As a general rule, since you never know who she might marry, it would be wise to avoid naming your daughter "Anita".) Truth in Television, obviously, and a potentially contentious issue.Ī traditional solution was for a married woman to take her maiden name as a middle name (e.g. Usually, the lady is an established career woman (or wants to be). This trope usually starts with the woman in question writing out her maiden name along with her married name to try it out, or try saying it in front of a mirror for practice. Or perhaps, her soon-to-be husband has difficulties, or maybe his mother has problems (often because she doesn't like any daughter-in-law taking the same name she changed her own to). A soon-to-be-married woman has difficulties with the idea of changing her last name.
