taking your wifes last name

[offTopic]

IIRC, the guy that co-authored the Barry Bonds Balco book hyphenated his last name...he used to just be Mark Fainaru and his wife's last name is Wada.

If I didn't have a vasectomy, I'd definitely pull an Ed Miller on this one. As is, first kid we adopt is getting the middle-last name "Vida Blue." Probably "Emma Vida Blue" unless a compelling boy appears on the adoptive horizon.

My mom lives down the street from the Bloomsmiths. The husband was Bloom, the wife was Smith.

Unless the woman you are marrying's last name is Uppercut, there is no excuse for this.

Unless your wife is making more money than you, this is completely unacceptable.

remember the house rule dude... no hyphenated last names, ever.

is ed saying one kid will be named miller and another will get elaine's last name? that's far better than hyphenating, although personally i would still prefer to name all of my kids after me, like george foreman.

does anybody know anyone that's done this?

this guy in my office gets back from his honeymoon, and all of a sudden his last name is different. through some sleuthy detective work, we discover that his new last name is the same as his new wifes!! wtf?

i know someone who changed his last name after marriage. he and his wife both changed theirs to a common family name shared at some family tree intersection.

so if you were to snoop on this guy after his wedding you would wrongly draw the same conclusion. perhaps your coworker did something similar.

Everyone with a hyphenated lastname is condemned to single-child suckage, psychologist parents or other forms of mental retardation.

Jim's kids got to choose. Thats hot. Besides, up till high school or so, its pretty much immaterial.
