Did I hear right?

[IheartBB]

Aaron took his wife's surname?

If so, boy, he keeps racking up those cool points, doesn't he? :laugh3:

[Tourmaline]

Did he?........bless his little cotton socks :hugesmile:

[Doogle]

So basically you have nothing else to slag off Aaron for so you're being petty now?

[Tom4784]

I'd say that's pretty open minded of him.

[Jords]

Its not that big of a deal?

[Pyramid*]

To quote Louise, I think that's one of the most romantic things a guy could do...... I know he did it to keep her family name running through generations - but still, it proves how utterly selfless the guy is.

He gets all the more gold stars from me.

[GypsyGoth]

I'd say that's pretty open minded of him.

I agree, it was a cool thing for him to do.

[Patricia4]

So what its no big deal.

[IheartBB]

Not really, just found it oddly hilarious (and hardly fitting behaviour of a "Lord"). I can just imagine what people on this board would say if it was Jay or Anton :joker:

[In the Drunk Tank]

Whipped :whistle:

I'm not quite sure that these were the responses for the most part, that the OP was expecting.

In fact it was exactly what I was expecting :joker:

Right gotcha :thumbs: So it was a deliberately try to wind up Aaron fans thread then :nono:

[luminoussun]

was that before or after she was in a wheelchair for a year? He is so devoted to her....wonder why he dumped her :)

[Pyramid*]

I'm not quite sure that these were the responses for the most part, that the OP was expecting.

I agree..... but it's nice to see that most people, whether they like Aaron or not, appear to think it was an incredibly nice thing for him to do.

Says a lot for the man - for his respect for his wife, and her family.

[Vicky.]

We know nothing about the circumstances of their breakup. She (rightly) refused to comment on her marriage in an interview recently.

Vicky it is so obvious!!!!
He is GAY
Gay as dale winton and graham norton wearing a pink tutu dancing swan lake with russel grant as the love interest:elephant:

[Vicky.]

Its not obvious at all. Infact its about as far from obvious as it could possibly be

Being a little feminine etc, does not make someone gay. The only defining characteristics of a gay person is which sex they are attracted to.

[StraightEdge695]

i didnt know you would do that..

[Kerry]

They just made it a double barrelled surname. Like Palmer-Tompkinson or Parker-Bowles

Is that a bit of an American thing, they seem to do it a lot over there

[Bollo]

I like Aaron he is a great character..but I do think thats a bit pants

[Kerry]

i didnt know you would do that..

You can do what you like. Namewise. For instance a child doesn't HAVE to have any family surname at all. You can name them Bart Simpson if you like

I have my OH's surname but am not married to him

[Cheddarcakes]

Aaron loved his wife ... shock horror news there.

Nothing wrong with going against tradition a little

[Kerry]

Is that a bit of an American thing, they seem to do it a lot over there

I'm not sure TBH

Oh dear, how shallow minded of you!

Yeah we would still not give a ****.

[threedoggies]

Aaron took his wife's surname?

If so, boy, he keeps racking up those cool points, doesn't he? :laugh3:

"Some double-barrelled names are formed in order to prevent a family name otherwise dying out, due to the lack of males in a generation or when notable property is inherited through the female line with a stipulation that the individual inheriting use the family name."
He did say he did it for his son with respect to his wife's family. They probably don't have a male in the family to carry on the family name. So he took hers with his and it is now a double-barrellled name.

I don't think he is gay because he is feminine :joker: My mate is gay and i met his bf and he was a butch mechanic and was more manly then me and i am straight.
I just think he is a secret gay :) maybe he is still living in denial.By the time he is 40 he will be proud

[luminoussun]

Oh dear, how shallow minded of you!

|---------| this shallow :)

But why? And how is it obvious?

[luminoussun]

Toms gaydar went off and he is with him 24/7 and just everything about him says gay
I just don't think Aaron wants his family to know or his son to see it.

like what?

Plus Tom..I think that was wishful thinking more than anything else :laugh:

[Jesus.]

Not really, I have double and triple barrel surnames in my extended family.

[boomoo]

She will benefit if he makes money

[joeysteele]

He chose to add his wifes surname to his own so that his son could help carry on his wife's surname too as well as his because his wife's family is small.
I know others who have done that too.Its not completely unusual.

[boomoo]

It is a perfectly common thing to do. My sister did that when she married.
In the past if a person brought the money into the family their name was included as in Bowes-Lyon. The Bowes were wealthy coal owners and the Lyon family were the poor Duke's of Strathmore

[Raven]

Whipped :whistle:

Just missing the feline reffrence at the front :whistle::joker:

[Supernovarolla]

Whipped :whistle:

I'm not the greatest of Aaron fans, but I don't see how him taking his wife's name makes him 'whipped.' Why should women have to take their husband's name?

He did dump his wife after she was left disabled after giving him a child, so I doubt he's that whipped..

[Vicky.]

She will benefit if he makes money

Erm...and? :shrug:

[swinearefine]

Good, I hate that women are just supposed to take their husband's surname. It's so sexist and most people are too stupid to realize it.

Ah I was only kidding, I don't really think it means he's whipped :laugh:

[ozzyshaggah]

just shows what a spineless little wimp he is

[SoBig]

But why? And how is it obvious?

Same way how everyone knew Lance Bass, Ricky Martin and Zachary Quinto were gay, before they came out open to the public.

[Jords]

Zachary Quinto is gay?

[SoBig]

Zachary Quinto is gay?

Yes. He came out last week. Not that it surprised anyone.

[Jords]

Ive only seen him as Sylar, never occured to me.

[Angus]

Aaron took his wife's surname?

If so, boy, he keeps racking up those cool points, doesn't he? :laugh3:

If that's true, his cool points stack way up through the roof. At least he is aware he's living in the 21st century where men and women are EQUAL, not a hundred years ago. Whilst egalitarian attitudes in society have evolved, it seems some people's are still stuck in the past. No inflated male ego from Aaron, or misguided beliefs that men are superior to women. I admire him even more now:wavey:

[exoticrosebud]

I'm not sure TBH



i think they do. when i was in america recently (where my brother in law lives) i noticed a letter addressed to him (Mr) with her surname...and all hers were in her maiden name. so maybe that is what they do....who cares....its a name..and maried is married....its still a piece of legal paper....
