Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can’t have one without the other
…

Frank Sinatra–may he rest in peace–would have been sad if he were to see that his lyrics are no longer accurate today; as more and more couples can separate between love and marriage. Tinseltown’s couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are one of them. Pregnant Angelina told US tabloid The Globe, “We will never marry…Brad is going through a divorce and I’ve been divorced twice, so it’s not something we’re considering.”

Recently the actor has adopted Angelina children, making Maddox—Angelina’s adopted son—to get his name changed once again. His original name was Maddox Chivan Thornton Jolie, because Billy Bob Thornton—Angelina’s ex-husband—adopted him. When the couple divorced, his name was changed to Maddox Chivan Jolie and now it becomes Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt. It might not be a problem with wealthy parents like Angelina and Brad. But what about those who are born among us mere earthlings?

In Hungary, one third of all children are born from unmarried couples, or to couples who aren’t couples, Pestiside says. Among them, there is a story of Robi and Réka; a couple of seven years with two daughters. They are not married and therefore are not allowed to give their joint name to their children. Why not married? Réka thinks the big day will be a letdown; while Robi says, ”We have a thousand other things to do.”

The decision for not married however seems to give more impact to the children rather than the parents. In Pécs, a three-year-old-boy is named Jenő Child With First Name Jenő—because his parents are not married. Jenő CWFNJ received the name after his parents got divorced:

Initially they agreed that he would get one of those double-barreled last names, but the permit was withdrawn by the guardian office (gyámhivatal) a month later. Then the local public administration office (közigazgatási hivatal) gave Jenőke his father’s last name. This decision, however, was successfully appealed by the mother. Unfortunately, her second appeal to give Jenőke both parents’ name failed again - this time on the basis of a ruling by the Interior Ministry - because the two aren’t married. So Jenőke went back to being called JCWFNJ, and will stay that way until one or the other parent or government office prevails, or Jenőke is old enough to pick some other last name.

Meanwhile, pregnant Oscar nominee Rachel Weisz slammed the people who look down on her because she is having a baby out of wedlock. For those who forgot, she lives with Requiem for A Dream director Darren Aronofsky, but they are not married.

“People have said to me ‘Was the baby a mistake?’ And I thought to myself ‘Did the sixties happen?’, ‘Are we in the 1900’s or something? That did surprise me a little bit.”

Do you, however, happen to know that Rachel’s father is Hungarian?
