famous couples merging names
Am I the only one who finds the name merging (Brangelina, Tomkat) of famous couples irritating? Sure, maybe it saves space or allows people to shorten the number of syllables they actually have to pronounce, but I still can't stand it. I just find it sad that, for instance, Angelina lost part of her identity simply because someone was clever and combined her name with Brad's. They ARE two different people, after all. And yes, I realize that your identity isn't solely in your name, but the two are connected.
Steps off soapbox...
