I think I have a rather unusual view on last names. I am on my third so far. I was born with my fathers, but used that and my mothers (the one she took for herself in her 20's) interchangeably until they divorced and I was asked to "choose." I went with my mothers but to tell the truth it felt ... disconnected. Just a made up name. I surprised myself by taking Tim's last name (his second, he abandoned his fathers name and took his maternal grandfathers) when we got married. Now I finally feel like I have a family name. Not a last name, a family name. The name of my husband, the name of my children. Now it feels connected. Maybe that is what your co-worker was trying to say. That be dropping that name you were disconnecting from your family. But, your name is for you. When you find the right one you will know. You will feel it. It might not be glamorous (hey, mine is now the same as a brand of underpants) but it will be you.

Then again, so does Athena Hotness. :) I’ll try them both out in the bedroom and get back to you. I dunno – I think “the artist formerly known as Athena” has a nice ring to it.

I also think it's good for us all to roast on the crucible of life sometimes, and no one is ever the same afterwards.... Just as long as I don't have to start calling you "The Artist Formerly known as Athena" : ) So you kept the name Pops Intentionally chose for you…I would bet on him understanding.

None of it matters, at least it shouldn't to anyone that matters. This is a superior example of not sweating the small stuff, being happy with your decisions because they are your decisions to be happy about.

Seemed like a big hassle to me, changing all those ids and cards and whatnot. But it meant something to her, despite the fact she didnt think she ever wanted to. Now having no last name at all? You should just change it to something fun, like FAHQ, or HOTNESS. Athena Hotness, now wouldnt that be fun to sign? I was actually surprised when sara took my last name, but she wanted to.

I want to see how you look, e-mail me a picture. I bet you're gorgeous, you can pull off any look. As far as names go, don't some women give up their last names when they marry? I don't see what the big deal is. I have lots of names. Hey, you. Bitchhead. Dumbshit. You get the idea. Well, I'm excited to see what you do next! Let's have drinks before you leave town, k?
