I just wanted to clarify something I said based on blu_theatric's post. When I said 'long name' I meant a long, no significance,
first name. I think it's wonderful when a name has family significance. It truly ties the child to their heritage.
Your son's name made me think a bit. I am married and hypenate my last name. But, I did not like the way the name sounded with my maiden name first, so I put my husband's last name first. Example:
Maiden name: Wanda Jones
Husband's last name: Williams
New Name: Wanda Williams-Jones instead of Jones-Williams.
People give me such grief about that! You would think I was married to
them!! It also confuses the heck out of folks because they want to call my hubby Mr. Jones if they meet me first! I'm glad he is a secure man!!
I use my entire name: First name, middle initial and hypenated last name. People told me I would get tired of writing it, but I don't (and it's been almost 5 years). It also ticks me off when people (especially customer service people) want to call me by part of my last name instead of the entire thing!
blu_theatrics, is your son's first name William or William C.?
