Parents Refuse to Attend Daughter’s Wedding After Finding Out She Changed Her Name Five Years Ago

Choosing a name for your child is among the most difficult and stressful tasks you will likely face when getting ready for a child. A child's name is something they will carry with them through good times and bad. So, to use the most infamous quote in the history of television, 'With great power comes great responsibility', what would you do if your parents left you with a name that was too humiliating to ever use in public?

The story below is an account of a confused daughter. Since childhood, the original poster (OP), formerly known as Pennsylvania, has grappled with her birth name. Since she was old enough to communicate, she had known that Pennsylvania would only be a temporary name until she could legally change it to something more in keeping with modern fashions and social mores. So when she became engaged and it came time to send out the invitations, she knew she had to be upfront and tell her parents about her new and improved name…
