Re: Anyone else feel weird about the name change thing?
I was excited to go from Ms. P to Mrs. P......and because I am a teacher, I hear my last name quite a bit.
But it is strange. My last name was very unique and uncommon, and his is fairly common, so I miss the attention I used to get from my last name. Although, it is nice to have people know how to spell my last name when I say it......
It's an adjustment, definitely, but I wanted to do it because our children will have his last name and I wanted to share that with him.
It was sad though, because my last name is so uncommon that we are the only family on Long Island (perhaps even in NY) that has the name, so I was sad to cut the number of people using the name down by 1....![]()
Also, my students have picked up on the fact that my old and new last names both start with 'p'....so now some of them call me Mrs. PP as a joke....haha very funny!
