the name game

Oh yeah, the other tradition is the whole name thing. I think that ideologically, I either want to keep my name or have both of us change it, but on a realistic level, I don't think I'd mind it, because between the two of us, Seppo has the cooler name with more recent achievements tied to it, even though I have the older, more prestigious name. It's something I've given a lot of thought to. I do, however, have a serious problem with people just assuming it will be Mrs. H, simply because "that's what people do". It's pretty obnoxious and sexist. Grrr.
