Twenty questions (minus fifteen)

Since I promised [livejournal.com profile] ataxi...
(friends locked again to avoid messing up my page, and it limits how many questions I have to answer, specially since not everyone on my friends list has friended me)

Hmm...so. Since this is a meme, I will adapt it to my own tastes. Reply if you wish to be analysed by my Ginormous Brain. You will recieve each of the following free gifts not neccesarily in this order:

1) Something about you which, in my opinion, is true.
2) Something about you which, in my opinion, is false.
3) Something which makes me think of you. Or possibly whatever pops into my head.
4) A question which you must answer. Or at least, respond to in a way approximating an answer.
5) There is no five, unless I think of one later.

Why would we make them the same just because we are married?
To be more specific
- neither of us really believe in a wife taking husbands name.
- its a pain to change your name professionally
- Cake is a silly name. Maybe if I'd had a particularly cool name she might have been more tempted.

PS we did consider changing both our names to Fantasia...

Sorry, I realised after I posted that it sounded like I was thinking it was crazy-wierd, which I don't. I'm just always curious to know what makes people decide to take the path less travelled.

Personally I'm quite happy to stop being an Ambrose, even if only in name (I like my dads family, but..*ahem*) and like the idea of me, Cam, and our kids all having the same surname, and I have a real soft spot for celtic etc names :) But I can certainly see why other women would keep their name, it's one of those holdovers from our mysogynistic past thats pretty creepy from certain angles.
