maybe because she gets married every two years its easier to go by her
maiden name
Many professional women keep the name they had when they got their degrees,
as their professional name.
Charlene
It's not very unusual for a professional woman to retain her professional name,
even after getting married.
Think about someone like Marilyn vos Savant.. her hame has *huge* recognition
worldwide... When she got married to Andrew Jarvik, she kept her birth name,
since Marilyn vos Savant is more well-known than Marilyn Jarvik would be...
Hollywood actresses do this all the time...

It's illegal for a doctor to practice under another name other than
the one they had when received their license.

Gosh I miss Marilyn. We don't get the Parade section with the Sunday paper
here and I sure miss her column. I wonder if it runs anyplace else.

You're just too, too cool, Danny. I did just that. Thanks a bunch!

In Marlena's case, she'd be Dr. Marlena Evans-Brady-Black.
I doubt she'd want "Brady Black" in her name <g>.
Yes, she was married to Don, but he was a lawyer and she was a psychiatrist,
so they decided to be professional about it. She was never Marlena Craig.
She was always Dr. Evans.

I think everyone would crap a golden brick if Barbra Streisand had become
Barbra Brolin. Imagine if Vanessa Williams were to become Vanessa Fox.
Everyone would say "No, you USED to be a fox, Vanessa, but you blew it,
Girlfriend.". The only three celeb types that I can think of off the top of
my head who decided in the past 10 years to take on their husband's names
are Courteney Cox Arquette, Tisha Campbell Martin, and Lisa Hartman Black.

Actually, I think I've seen an interview with Courtney saying she's going
back to just "Cox". Arquette is no longer on the Friends credits, if I
recall correctly. So you can cross her off the list too.
Charlene
Marlena would never try that, though. It's grounds for malpractice and she'd
never be so lazy. The doctor name change thing happens all the time. The
name change thing is not a big deal. They just fill out a form and present
proof of a marriage license (or a name change through the courts), it's all
processed, and they are good to go. It's not like when you renew a medical
license, which is more of a procedure. When you get married or change your
name, you're not applying for a new medical license, you're applying for a
change of information on your old one.

cleo absentmindedly wrote the wrong thing above so I'm correcting it
here:

No, actually it's Ciccone, but it's pronounced with a "ch" sound. Italians
have weird last names that way. My Great Grandmother's maiden name was
Iacconetti, with the double "C" You pronounce the "I" as a "Y", though.

And what's their new baby's name? Isn't it Rocco? Rocco
Ritchie....hehehe....sounds like he should be a character on The
Flintstones.....<<giggle>>. What a goob Madonna is, come on! Lourdes and
Rocco. I'll betcha' five hundred bucks that your grandma and mine will
NEVER meet anyone from the Rotary Club, The Garden Club, The Book Club, or
the Knitting Club who has kids with those two names!
I'm all for interesting names, but at least try for ones that sound pretty,
for cripe's sakes. Like Picasso's children... Claude and Paloma. Not the
most common names, but at least they sound nicer than Rocco and Lourdes or
Rumer, Scout, and Talula Belle, which are the names of Bruce Willis and Demi
Moore's three kids....yeeeeick....horrible names! Or Parker, Rosie O'
Donnell's son. I hear about the kid and all I think of is The Hardy Boys.
Stop the insanity!!!!

Not really because she never took Sean Penn's name but she did just recently
change her name to Ritchie. Her maiden name is actually Ciccone.
Lourdes is a very popular Spanish/Mexican name. Rocco is also a very popular
Italian name. I don't find anything unusual about either one of them. You
really need to get out more, Jen.

Now factor in her two middle names: Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone-Ritchie.
My favorite has to be the character "Nora Hannon Gannon Buchanan" on One
Life To Live.
Hey, that's got a good beat!

You can almost sing her name. Sounds pretty when you say it that way.
Louise was *almost* my name. My dad wanted me to be Louise. Glad my
mom was smart enough to wait for him to leave the hospital when she
signed the live birth forms. Louise is nowhere in my name! LOL

LOL! That sounds good to me, but isn't Bo going out with a blond woman now. So
aren't Bo & Nora divorced? I dropped OLTL in 1995. It was just getting boring
without Todd and what's her name who he raped at a party in 1993? I know Todd
came back and is still presently on, but it's still boring as hell.
Todd is back and he has all the best lines. Also Marty Saybrook is the
other character you mentioned. She just got killed off of JAG and is coming
back to One Life To Live.
