In the old days it was considered unlucky for awoman to marry a man with a surname that started with the same letter as hers.A rhyme mothers would tell their daughters went: "To change the name andnot the letter, is to change the worst and not the better." An Austrianbride was not even supposed to practice writing her new name before thewedding.
在以前，要是一個女人嫁給了一個和自己一樣的，名和字都是同一字母開頭的男士，（例如：Amy Adams和Ryan Reynolds感覺就不好了）會被認為不會有什么好結果的。這時帶有（同樣）疊音字母名字的媽媽就會這樣告訴他們的女兒："趕緊去把名字改了。換個字母，把它改的越不一樣越好。" 可以肯定地說這位奧地利新娘一定會趁在婚禮前會把他的新名練的好好的。
