Names on Checks
Katrina Gutleben
I work in retain and the other day a lady came through my line paying with a
check. I was totally shocked when I read the names on the check and it
said...
John Jones
Mrs. John Jones
(OK I don't remember the exact names but you'll get the idea.) I was amazed
that anyone would go that far!! And she wasn't an old lady ether. Maybe in
her 40's. I was almost tempted to ask for her drivers liscense to see if it
said Mrs. John Jones! It was weird.
My name is first on our checks. It was also my account first. However even
if it weren't my name would be first because I do ALL of the paperwork in
our family. Even when my husband goes to the eye doctor I end up filling
out all the questionairs for him and he signs the bottom. He doesn't even
know our phone number without asking me!!! That said I usually have filled
in the spouse line since he was the 'provider'. Now that we're both working
paying jobs we'll see what happens.

printout. The woman was the daughter of the arts minister of a state, a
known name, and yet she was married to a good-for-nothing American who had
left her and gone back to California. Yet her driver's license was issued to
Mrs. Him, whatever his name was. Horrible.

>>I saw an Australian drivers' license, years ago. It was a cheap paper
printout. The woman was the daughter of the arts minister of a state, a
known name, and yet she was married to a good-for-nothing American who had
left her and gone back to California. Yet her driver's license was issued to
Mrs. Him, whatever his name was. Horrible.

My grandmother remembers that many years ago in the South, when someone was
referred to in the newspaper as Mr. , Mrs. or Miss you knew they were white.

We had some homeschooling friends (strict christian -- school at home
people) and they always signed everything as Dr. and Mrs John Smith. It
even made my husband cringe so when I graduated we sent them a card with a
return address marked from Dr. and Mr. Kate Green -- think it went over
their head though:)
In the Arab world women keep their original names when they get married and
never take on their husbands. Of course that's because they are still owned
thru the father's line and so have his lineage reflected in their names.
Their second name is the father, 3rd the grandfather, 4th greatgrandfather
and so on. Which can be interesting because the men are so often named
after their father or grandfather so you get a lot of repeats. I have
students with names like Mariam Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Mohamed!
It can get very lengthy.
