Meanwhile, co-sign on family names. We didn't consider any that weren't family names.

This kid's family is pretty intense...I'm willing to bet he'll have to. But yeah, I'm sure it depends on the family. I like family names because there's that sense of tradition and heritage, but I'll probably do it the same way my parents did which is to give us kids one name from each side of the family. (My first name is from my mother's side and middle from my father's, and the same is true of my siblings.)
Which means all of those first and middle name combinations I picked won't work, but oh well.
I'm also going to use my kids' first names as the names they're called...as in they won't be called by their middle name.
