    My bio teachers last name was “MoCock.” His wife’s first name is "Love."We just called him,“Mr. Mo”. I think it’s crazy she took his name, lmao.

      I know a girl named Paige that married a man with the last name Page.

      We call her Page 2. It’s also fun when they disagree and I ask if they can get on the same page.

    I never thought I would mind changing my last name when getting married until it actually happened, and I was surprisingly emotional about it. It felt like I was erasing my identity or something, a totally unexpected feeling that came out of nowhere. It was also weird to have to change my signature after having it for so many years.

    We ended up getting divorced 7 years later and I reclaimed my maiden name, and needless to say, if I ever get married again, I will not be changing my last name. It was also a nightmare of paperwork to change it (both to get married and divorced), and I don’t want to do that yet again.

      Glad you got to reclaim your name, Ms. Mouse.

    I had a roommate who was in med school. He wanted to be a psychiatrist. His surname was Carver, so naturally he became a surgeon.

    My dudes… Dr. Strange is my new neighbor!

    She’s a veteran… but I’m kind of an animal so I figure it should be OK 😎

    Also; 2 cats, one of which is definitely smarter than the average bear… the other, is orange.

    I was treated by a Dr Payne once … contrary to his name, he wasn’t a pain.
