If you’re an American, I hope you are paying attention to the SAVE Act which was just passed by the House. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Any[/name_f] woman with a married name – which doesn’t match the name on her birth certificate – could be denied the vote. [name_f][/name_f] I kept my own name when I married – we married in Connecticut so I was legally allowed to do that – and my kids have a hyphenated surname consisting of my name and their father’s. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter has kept this arrangement, but my son dropped his father’s name when he joined the [name_m]Army[/name_m].
[name_f][/name_f]If you aren’t American, do what you want to do. [name_f][/name_f] If you are, talk to a lawyer first.
