Here’s Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi grabbing lunch yesterday. Earlier in the week Portia filed a request to have her name legally changed to Portia Lee DeGeneres which I think is pretty cool. It can be hard for people to change their names when they get married because you kinda feel like you’re leaving a bit of your identity behind, but I don’t think Portia had too much trouble with that one. She was born Amanda Lee Rogers, changed her name to Portia Lee De Rossi as a teen and is now Portia Lee DeGeneres.

Stacey: I think its hard to change your last name.  I had a hard time anyways.  Not that I am not happy I did it but I remember when I got engaged, thinking about changing my last name overwhelmed me.  And then thinking about having to get a new signature really freaked me out.  And then I had to change all my ID and credit cards and health care, etc…men don’t have to do anything.  When I got married, I suggested we switch last names.  My hubby didn’t go for that.
