9. married twice, kept my own (ok, my father's) name. took turns naming the kids
traded off, when i got the last name, he got the first name, then vice-versa. that part was good- no big battles about names.
aside from a lot of snideliness and stupidity from my own family, there has been very little trouble.
exhibit A of family stupidity- girls run in my family. in spite of large irish catholic families all around, my dad was the only male in 7 generations to have a brother. my brother also has one son. i have a son who bears my family name, but he does not count. when my aunt did a family tree book, there just absolutely had to be a picture of the only boy to carry on the name. sheesh.
other people have no trouble. even the schools have had no problem.
