Several Observations...

In texas its common for kids (primarily in the hispanic culture) to hyphenate their last names. If the last name is Arellano (dads), and the moms maiden is Torres, Yhe kid will often go by Dax Arellano-Torres. Very common.

Secondly, We have a NM this semester who all the ladise are after because he has that "mediterranian look." Hes half-Lebanise, but has the last name of Parker. Turns out his mom and dad got divorced when he was really little so his mom not only changed her last name back to her maiden, but changed his to her maiden as well. I just cant see Parker as Ryan Abu-Kemise (his real birth name).

Finally I am getting my middle name legally changed. I hate it, I have always hated it. It is my mothers maiden name, and sounds OK as a last name, but BLOWS as a middle name. I am in my mid 20-s and still get $hit for it. Quoting my mom when I was in 2nd grade, "Oh honey, when you get to the third grade, they wont tease you anymore. " yeah. right. Sell it to someone whos buying, mom. A few months ago my BOSS was teasing me about it. I am sick of it. THE WORST is when someone tells me, "Oh, but it so fits you!" GRRRRRR. I am looking at 3 family names, Nathan, Tyler or Clarke. I myself like Mykul (a brother in the house's name, just think its cool spelled that way.) But have agreed to use a family name. My fam is really big on that crap.

So I'll share. If I hear shrieks of laughter in the still South Texas night tonight, I'll know what it is.

Prepare knees for slapping...

god I hate my life sometimes.

Good news, its only $120 in Texas to do it and you just have to swear before a judge that you arent doing it to run from the law or debts. I swear in front of everyone, so a judge shouldnt be that hard.
