Re: because that's her name?
in reply to a message by RoxStar
So you're saying it's totally cool if people just call you by your maiden name after you're married?
Plus, see Rose-Berry's reply: No one calls her Kate in real life. So it's cool if everyone refers to you as 'Starry Maiden-Name', right?

Here's an article which points out the reasons she's called Kate Middleton:
http://whatwouldkatedo.com/2013/01/kate-middleton-versus-duchess-catherine/
It also makes the point, which hadn't occurred to me, that Fergie was called, well, Fergie.

that article
is pretty convincing - it's saying that the media not switching her name like Diana's is down to the internet basically - which is more convincing and intelligent-sounding than the assumption that it's just all about "cutting the royals down to size." Sure there is some ironic fun in referring to them as though they're our peers, but it's not hate. If the goal was to cut them down to size, I'm sure people could come up with some really mean ways to call them.

Uh, well considering that their last name is like, NEVER publicized I'd say that maiden name is next best bet
Maybe we should be calling her Catherine Middleton, or Duchess of Cambridge, but Catherine Mountbatten-Winsor is a bit much to ask I think.
I'm curious too, how you know so definitively that she does not go by Kate. Not questioning it, just would like to know where you get such information

I'm going off what Rose-Berry said on "Kate". She's British, so I assume she knows better than me.
I'm not saying "You should call her Catherine Mountbatten-Windsor", I never said that. I'm just questioning why it's so common to call her "Kate Middleton", like she's some girl you went to school with and not someone who has a royal title. And it wasn't even really a question, I know why and Anneza posted the exact reason:

Hey you're the one who went off on Rox specifically about using her maiden name after marriage.... I could only assume you'd prefer the use of her married name
How did she "go off" on Rox? It was THAT bad, IMO.
I never said it was THAT bad. Poor use of "go off" I guess... Sorry. Not quite sure how else to word it
Pro-tip: Stop assuming anything about what I'm saying. If it's not written in my message, I'm not saying it.
Here's another example: Suppose you went through the trouble of becoming a doctor. Your title is now Dr. Surname. It would be super annoying if people (who weren't your friends) kept calling you Nicknamey Surname instead of Doctor, right?
I just feel so bad that no one can even call Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, by her proper title and she has to pick baby names out of a tiny bucket. Like, why even marry a prince if that's how it's going to be?
This is my final post on the subject because I literally do not care about this family at all.

Why are you always so combative? There was some obvious confusion brought on by your specific reference to her maiden name.
"So you're saying it's totally cool if people just call you by your maiden name after you're married?"
You don't see how that could lead someone to believe that you prefer use of the married name?
Maybe she married a prince because she loves him and maybe she actually PREFERS to not be referred to by a royal title. I don't know. But it sure does seem like ya do care about it.

Well, by all means, read really deep into some of my comments and not others. My very first comment was "She's married to a prince!" Don't you see how that could "lead someone to believe" that maybe she should be called by her title? If RoxStar had a royal title, I would have used that as the example instead and we could have saved ourselves all this trouble, but that was not really an option here.

And if you don't like how "combative" I am, stop reading my posts and engaging me in combat. My goodness.

I read a lot of peoples comments. But my goodness yours are always the first to call out something negative or come off as rude for really no reason at all. I wasn't engaging you in combat, I was explaining why I was confused, you reacted combatively
... Like you often do. Goodness me
And P.s. It was the FIRST line of your second comment. Really didn't dig that deep
