Sarah changes her name

Haha fair enough but really we don't know anything of their relationship we shouldn't be making up crazy scenarios of them breaking up because of her name!!
 
OH, I didn't say they would break up because of it. Just that it could come back to bite her in the butt.
 
I just saw this a couple weeks ago. I was reading a magazine and they were doing a listing on where celebs had been that week, and they named her as Sarah Michelle Prinze. I was like, hmmm....when did that happen?

And my two cents on the marriage thing and taking the husband's name..... I think it's just a representation of togetherness. It's not a domination of the male over the female (in my opinion). It's the beginning of a new family and a way of showing togetherness. There have been cases of males taking the female's last name, so it's not really a big deal. I had a great time taking on my husband's last name and letting our relationship turn into something different. We weren't seperate people anymore, we were two people embarking on the same journey together.

Perhaps that's why many celeb marriages fail, because they strive and struggle to keep their own identities, especially by keeping their last names and not wholly attaching themselves to their spouses/marriages.
 
ill still always refer to her as SMG, especially since it wasnt a very public thing that this is her new name... i didnt know til i read this post just now! and i know no one i know will understand who i am talking about if i say sarah michelle prinze...
 
I am not a mushy person, but that is sorta a nice anniversary gift. A nice way of showing your affection to your spouse.

And well like it's been said there are far worse names than Sarah Michelle Prince. It's just gonna be weird not being able to refer to her as SMG.

EDIT;

Yes. No SMP is not as nice, sounds frighteningly like an STD.

And having the initials of a Sub-Machine Gun is any better? 😛

Actually, yeah :p

Better the PMS backwards. :)
It doesn't have the same ring to it but I suppose it will take some time getting used to it 🙂

I wonder what her signature will look like now 🙂
 
I'm used to Sarah Michelle Gellar but Sarah Michelle Prinze sounds cool too, I'm just worried that other people won't know who that is.

To be realistic, the way her career has gone up to now, the only ones who'll notice the difference will be the people who remember her as Buffy, and since she's really trying to escape that image, changing her name just might be a good career move.

Of course, a relatively unknown actress who's 30 years old has a rough roe th hoe anyway. Hollywood seems to prefer their female actors to be 20 years old and willing to strip for the camera. Since she's neither...
 
I think being recognized is irrelevant as regards to her name change as in an article she stated she was keeping her stage name as Sarah Michelle Gellar. Sarah Michelle Prinze is for her private/personal life.

So the world will still know her as Sarah Michell Gellar, while Fred and maybe their little circle of friends will now know her as Sarah Michelle Prinz, if they ever think of her by her whole name.

I hope she at least got him a pair of socks or some new underwear to go with THAT anniversary present. Talk about Hollywood extravagance!
 
Haha. What so it's 'I've taken your name as a gift and oh yes, I got you that tie you wanted. The one with Homer Simpson on it?'. The question is, which gift would he like more.....

HOMER SIMPSON!!! Freddie's idol!! She must REALLY love the guy to go all out like that. This is one Hollywood marriage that's most definitely gonna last. (I read somewhere that he got her a director's cut set of Scooby Do 1&2 autographed by the cast for Christmas.) The love just radiates...
 
Haha. Exactly- It's a true love that surmounts all others. I also heard that he has the whole collection of Scooby Doo cartoons on VHS and oh yes, they have to watch a couple each day. Haha. (It's the same level of obsession as we all have with Buffy and Angel.) Clearly this will only bring them closer. They bond over the antics of Shaggy and Scoobs.
 
I don't think things are all that desperate for her. Also, I think it's best that she's keeping her stage name. I mean, she has soap fans, too. Soap fans, in general, tend to be every bit as rabid as Joss Whedon fans, but also used to having more control than fans of other genres.

If worse comes to worse, she could always go back to soaps. I'm sure she still has fans there. It's not primetime or movies, but it is decent-paying (Ingo Rademacher, for example, owns a beach house in Malibu), steady work and it does provide you with a nice fan base. Also, if you decide to have a family, it's really good about working that in. Between her Buffy fan base and her soap fan base, she would be able to command a lot of power (and moolah) in that industry. Of course, it's also a huge step down in terms of prestige and the hours are long and grueling, so I'd only want to to be a last resort.

We soap fans just love it when our favorites come back as a last resort, though. Sarah Brown just went back to soaps after leaving to do bit parts in horrible movies like Big Mama's House 2, and the fans (myself included) act like it's the second coming. We loved her acting so much the first time around that we're just thrilled to have her back. The same was true when Freddie's old squeeze, Kimberly McCallough, came back. The same would be true if Vanessa Marcil came back as Brenda, now that Las Vegas ended. Heck, if VM came back, we'd probably throw a parade. There are also a lot of actors whom are generally regarded by fans as too good for soaps, but we're glad they stay because we just love to watch them day in and day out (Rick Hearst comes to mind; he consistently spins craptastic lines into Emmy gold). Obviously, I'm biased toward GH, but the concept is the same throughout the industry.

So even if she is having problems because she's 30, I do, at least, think she has something to fall back on.
 
This is why i love and admire SMG so much. She is so normal & down to earth. Most famous celebs keep their names-- and end up divorcing. But Sarah and Freddie seem to have such a loving, normal relationship that has lasted.
 
I think thats really sweet that she changed her name but I do like Sarah Michelle Gellar better than sarah michelle gellar prinze.
