I'm with you on that, Jacquelyn - if I'd married a man whose last name really sounded awful with my first name, I would have either kept my maiden name or discussed with him the idea of changing both our last names to a new name.

I was lucky though - even though my husband's last name is one of "those" names that very few first names go with, mine goes great. Maybe it was a sign! But picking our kids' names will not be fun.........

Let's see... I know of someone who took her husband's name to become Carol Carroll.

I know of someone else who wanted to name his daughter Selena. His wife talked him out of it by pointing out that their last name was Sullivan and this poor girl would have gone through childhood as "Silly Sally Sully."

Oh, and I used to work with a woman whose last name was Goodman. She was engaged to a man whose last name was also Goodman (no relation). That must have been... interesting to explain...
