The last name debate

[athene]

Ah...the last name debate. As aerith and I are being typically libra and seeing all sides of this issue, I thought I would open it up to everyone and see what people think before we have our own conversation (we have to have it figured out by this weekend).

So please please please, answer my poll!!

[Poll #447733]

btw, if you are married/have been married and either you, your spouse, or both changed your last name, please leave a comment saying why you made the decision y'all did (especially if you hyphenated)

I have to say that you both seem attached to your last names, and while it would be tempting to say go with Leary-King (for the worse pun), King-Leary is a very nice last name.

My mother went hyphenated while my father didn't, since her family name is a "Family Name" here... it also was another way to keep her cultural heritage, which is something to keep in mind.

*notes that first name is hyphenated, and therefore might be biased*

Your family did it the way I dislike the most. Do you know how hard it is to keep records of families that don't all have the same name? *Pokes.* Oh, well. I still like your family anyway.
