Why would Manuela keep P's name ? Is this a business arrangement?? "Nelson"'s kinda boring. NO OFFENSE to all the Nelson's out there. Losing the Italiano name for.....NELSON????? There'd better be dinero involved.

Well, I suppose shes keeping the name Nelson, untill the divorce is finalized, then she will go back 2 her original name, Manuella Testolini!!

Its like with Mayte, She was Mayte Garcia Nelson, but after HER divorce she went back 2 her original name, Mayte Garcia!!!

If I could get lucky and acquire Prince's name,I would hold on2 it 4 dear life! And it's not a boring name...

When I divorced my husband, I kept his last name for simplicity sake. All of my credit accounts, business name, etc. was all in my married name. It would have been a nightmare to try to change everything, so I opted to keep it. People do it all the time, for different reasons.

My husband's ex kept his last name because of the children. My children's last name is my maiden name, and it would have been less confusing for others for me to have reverted back as well, but I didn't want the credit/business hassle of having to change all that either.

I kept my ex's name due to my son, but believe me if he wasn't involved I'd change that sucker quickly!

she should pull a anna mae on him

Every divorced woman that I personally know has kept their ex husband's last name (except for the few that have remarried). They all said it was just easier that way...

I never changed my last name when I got married. If I had I would be Teri Tierney. I wanted my husnband to change HIS last name. Since he wouldn't then I saw no reason to either.

Nelson Mandela's first name.

personal choice is how I see it

I NEVER use the name of my hubby.... I use always mine...Yes, Personal choice..

In Spain both keep theyr own names, fathers and mother's first familynames.
