This is the strangest topic I've ever read here! Hilarious!
I've spent my life defending that I look like, think like, act like, and am myself. In my divorce 12 years ago I even renamed myself because I didn't intend, at age 54, to return to my 'maiden' name. I made the mistake, though, of choosing one name from my motyher's side and one from my father's side of the family and phenating them together. No one outside of Texas, where I lived at the time, seems to undeerstand that a hyphenated name is still one whole name, a complete last name. Oh, the weird names I've been called, LOL! I rue the day I thought this up!
