I'd thought you might appreciate t...Hi Ladies!<br /><br />I'd thought you might appreciate the approach that my fiance, Hudson Taylor, and I are taking to the "name-change" debate. <br /><br />Hudson is technically named Herbert Hudson Taylor, IV. His namesake is strong and historic. But, neither of us care for patrilineal naming systems. We are bothered that, even when a woman keeps her maiden-name (or when a man takes his wife's maiden name), the surname is still patrilineal (of the father). We’re both impassioned feminists and want to modernize the traditions and institution of marriage. <br /><br />And so, we've decided to pick our own last one-- one that's truly ours and fully equal. We're working on ideas now to incorporate our heritages and aesethic.<br /><br />It should be a wonderful journey and one we hope our ancestors will appreciate!<br /><br />Yours truly,<br />Lia MandaglioLiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13437354329377882280noreply@blogger.com
