His first name is william c.
And it took almost an entire year to convince the social security office that I was sure that was his name, but that is another story all together
As far as the changing name after marrage thing, I must say that I think I would have no problem taking my husband's name completely. However, I remeber when I was thinking about going into politics and I was engaged at that time (another long story) but he had a common last name, Jackson and my last name is not as common, so I thought of keeping my name, because I knew that people would remeber me in the community, also my brother (who had my last name) was a semi-celebrity basketball player of the region I lived in so I wanted to keep my name just for the effect it would have. But to make a long story short, while I was engaged and me and my fiance' lived together and ordered wedding things I always used his name because I didn't have to spell it out, also we did find that it was easier to do somethinghs by me just answering to ms. Jackson, and it just became habit. To this day there are times when I will call-in a food order and with out thinking say Jackson as the last name, (something that I truly want to stop doing)
But that was completely off the subject. My point is that if I had became married and still went into politics, my name would have been a better one for me and this is why some women, especially ones with established careers keep there name
