	Jamaica Gleaner - Give up the maiden name - Tuesday \| March 18, 2003
		When a woman gets married, the reason why she loses her (maiden) name, is because she transfers responsibility from her father to the man (her husband).
		When a woman refuses to lose her original name, she is literally saying that she is not completely under that new man. And that is why that man who she is married to, never feels that he completely has responsibility nor does he feel obligated in most cases to take responsibility for that woman.
		The fact that she has two names, that is hyphenated names in most instances, communicates to him that she does not completely give herself to him.

	Maiden name
		In popular usage, "maiden name" is the family name previously carried by a woman who is now married and uses her husband's name.
		A maiden name may be indicated using the French term "née" (pronounced as either "nay" or "nee"), which literally translates as "born", hence Margaret Hilda Thatcher née Roberts.
		The term "maiden name" has been anathema to American feminists since the 1970s -- the politically correct term is now "birth name", which may also be used of those who have changed their name for any other reason.

	Name Change Research
		A mother sought a name change for her child because the father was not an active parent in the child’s life.

	Name Change
		If the petitioner is married, the spouse’s name and the names and ages of the petitioner’s children, if any, and their residence.
		The narrow discretion of a court to deny a name change is illustrated by a case in which the trial court’s refusal to change a petitioner’s first name to "Sunshine" was reversed on appeal.
		If the child’s name is not being changed to a name different from that of the child’s non-petitioning parent, or if the non-petitioning parent has consented or does not object to the change, the name-change hearing is typically brief and the change is usually granted.

	The state of the maiden name. - By Katie Roiphe - Slate Magazine
		It was an interesting moment in the history of nomenclature when Hillary's "Rodham" slipped into the position of a middle name after her husband lost his bid for re-election as governor in 1980.
		In a way, it is an ingenious political solution: By shunting their old names into a prominent middle-name status, aspiring first ladies can signal to red states that they defer to their husbands while winking at the blue states that they still have their own names.
		The movement to keep maiden names began in the 1850s in Massachusetts, when a suffragette named Lucy Stone decided to keep her name when she married an abolitionist named Henry Blackwell at the age of 37.
