"Fork" - when a road comes to a fork, it splits into two different directions, and the traveler has to choose one. " "Fill-in-the-blank" I think here refers to the surname of her future husband. "Sticks" - Yes, the provinces I suppose they call it in other countries.

Yes. The term also implies that the names are interchangeable - no matter who she marries, he will be a "nobody," an unimportant person.
