I'll be happy to unload my last name. Like Ginger, there are issues with the paternal side of my family. Also, my first name is French (kinda
) and my last name is German, so they really don't sound right together because of how the syllables are stressed. And, even if I did want to hyphenate, my last name has 9 letters and my boy's last name has 7 letters, which I think is a bit much.
I have a few friends who want to combine their last names to make a new one. No one has come up with anything halfway normal-sounding yet, though.
