Carrie Underwood 'feels awful' that people call her husband 'Mr. Underwood' & says he won't cheat

title or description

Carrie Underwoo see Mike Fisher s her equal, not her subordinate. So when the media refers to her hockey player husband as "Mr. Underwood," the singer is understandably upset.


"It made me feel awful," the country music superstar, 29, says in the February issue o Allure "Somebody works real hard to make a name for themselves, a respectable name, and then it's 'Mr. Underwood.'"

Canadian-born Fisher, 32, was called "Mr. Underwood" many times when he was traded from the Ottawa Senators to the Nashville Predators in February 2011, according to the "Blown Away" singer.

"He was drafted there, and that was the only team he had ever played for [in the United States]. He would have played and he wanted to play for Ottawa for his whole career. He had no say in any of it," Underwood says in her husband's defense. "[But] I love it that he's here."


Underwood is in it for the long haul with Fisher, despite what doubters say.

"We've seen a lot of celebrities, professional athletes, not exactly always being on their best behavior away from girlfriends, wives, families," she says. "People would say, 'Do you ever worry that? You know, he's an athlete, he's young, he's good-looking?' And I've never had to worry about him, because I've never trusted anybody so completely. Or I didn't know the true meaning of trust. He just. . . He just wouldn't do that."

Though the "Before He Cheats" chart topper has often sung about heartbreak, the athlete makes her feel more loved than ever. "We want that person to be everything we've always wanted," Underwood tel Allur of her music. "If they're not Prince Charming, we try to make them Prince Charming. But Prince Charming does exist! I found one."

My first time is very common, especially around people of my generation, and my last name, while it is not uncommon, is at least a LOT more uncommon than my first name. Plus I LOVE my last name. Not changing...I wouldn't expect anyone to have to change their name when they get married.

This sounds like such a lame humblebrag.

If I get married, I plan to take on my spouse's name and use my maiden name in place of my middle name, which is Lyn. My mother claims it was my father's idea in tribute to her name (Linda). I'm not close to her and Lyn just looks bare without another N, dammit

why is it still so bizarre/rare for parents to name their daughter after her mother, but totally acceptable for a son to take his father's name?

my friend's niece has the same name as her mother and when we were in high school I just remember thinking that it seemed narcissistic, until I realized that I had no problems with my dad being named after my grandpa

Ikr? I plan to name my daughters, if I have any, after my mom.

I knew a girl in elementary school who went by Charlene Jr. It was her mom's name. Nearly every teacher we had was surprised at that. I just thought it was uncommon and I moved on.

Probably because men have ~legacies, but in the past women have had their surnames changed when they get married, so it would only leave the first name the same as the mother with the surname then being different.

It's something I've thought of recently as well, and it pretty much boils down to family lines traditionally going through men IMO.

If I have a daughter, her middle name will be my mum's name.
I'd do the same for a son but my dad thinks his name is stupid and that passing it on would be cruel.

I'm sure as hell not changing my last name when/if I get married, but I wouldn't expect the other person to do that either. And I think it's definitely disrespectful to call a person by their partner's last name if that's not also their own last name. Basically defining them only by who they're married to, which is gross

If I get married, my surname will stay the way it is and my spouse will have to deal. I might consider hyphenating it, but my boyfriend's last name is already hyphenated and it'd be a whole lotta name.

rory pond is not here for carrie's lies.
derrobitch 18th-Jan-2013 11:59 pm (UTC)
i'm not changing my last name ever. i used to hate my surname but now i'm older it's part of my identity and i love it. not giving it up for no man.
x_brittacular 19th-Jan-2013 12:03 am (UTC)
I hate seeing these Tumblr posts where like a 15 yr old girl is like "He stole my heart so I can't wait to steal his last name." Wut.

I'm my dad's only child so idk, I'd feel bad changing my last name. If I get married, I'll either not change it or have it hyphenated.

well, now she's opened the door for any of the girls he has hooked up with to come forwad
kissmesteph 19th-Jan-2013 12:20 am (UTC)
lol, yup.
hearthecity 19th-Jan-2013 01:12 am (UTC)
lol

I always figured her for the more realistic type about that sort of thing. Guess not.
stellawuzadiver 19th-Jan-2013 09:38 pm (UTC)
For real. There's no benefit to making a statement like that, only detriments. She might as well have added "and if I'm wrong, please, throw these words back into my face."
kissmesteph 19th-Jan-2013 12:19 am (UTC)
A pro athelete who won't cheat?! A hockey player?!

*snort*

Doubtful.
microminiscrew 19th-Jan-2013 12:32 am (UTC)
But op, why are you looking towards divorce from before the marriage even starts?
hearthecity 19th-Jan-2013 01:12 am (UTC)
gotta be prepared
ghostsaddle 19th-Jan-2013 12:48 am (UTC)
i can't wait to take my fiance's name next week, ready to leave my last name in the dust!!!!

I'm not changing my surname. I would like for my hypothetical spouse to hyphenate or take mine, but it's not necessary. If we have kids and my spouse objects to the name I've already decided I'm giving to my hypothetical daughter, I totally plan on using the kid's surname as a bargaining chip; otherwise, I'd like our kids to hyphenate unless my partner's last name is terribad.
