I guess a lot of people have searched their own name on facebook or other sites. But what are the chances of someone with a gender neutral first name finding their mate that way?
Do you Kelly take Kelly?

Very sweet people. You have to admit: they LOOK right together...but OH so young!

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Well, she doesn't have to worry about remembering to sign her new last name.

And I guess she wouldn't hyphenate.

This is kinda sorta like when Eleanor Roosevelt got married. She was already born "Eleanor Roosevelt" so when she married Franklin, there was no need to alter her name.

Apparently, there are a whole lotta Patels in the UK who like to meet other Patels for fun, friendship, and more. Saves on paperwork, I guess.

StageManager, I want to marry your avatar! I just watched it last night, and it BLEW ME AWAY. *_*

Weez: Wasn't that a great movie? It's become one of my faves, hence the av, which I also find a work of art. I was just in awe of the little girl who played Alexandria -- the most natural acting from a child I've ever seen. I especially love her scenes/interaction with Lee Pace, who's also a cutie himself here.
