Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

People (usually women) who take double-barrelled names when they get married. I've got no problem with women keeping their own name ... but one or the other please. Have the courage of your convictions.

I have my own name. My husband has his own name. Our kids have both our surnames, with a space in between. It does make their name long, but how else should we have done this?

And why should a woman give up their name anyway? Why shouldn't people choose to have a double-barrelled name? Why does it bother you?

decorum
[Try playing match the couple and their spawn when the spouses keep their own names but register their progeny the double-barrelled combo ... And then get stroppy when you make an assumption and refer to them with their spouse's, or offspring's, surname ;-) ]
