Name Change

[daringtherobot]

I have to decide by noon on Thursday whether I'm going to change my name, and if I do, what I'm going to change it to.  That's when we're going to get the marriage license.  Shit I can't decide what to do, which is why I'm taking a poll on my livejournal.  You, faithful readers, will determine my future.  Please choose one of the following, or come

you guys need create an entirely new last name

this guy i went to grade school with that i was unfortunate enough to fun into one say did that

he used to be Nathan Fostey
but when he got married he and his wife both changed their name to Anders

just to sweeten the deal he also added 3 middle names that all pretty much sound like lord of the rings' characters
im pretty sure he made them up

if you think hes alittle crazy you sohuld know hes a published author ...we co-wrote a book called Morton's List
in which role playing nerds can roll dice to determine "actual" activities to go do
sort of a random activity generator for people who still live with mom

on second thought

i think you both should change your name to Brubaker. it's prolly the most awesomest last name ever. in fact there's a movie called Brubaker, starring robert redford. ;->

#1 is #1

I vote for #1. When I think about the idea of changing my name, I want to cry. My name is a huge part of who I am. My husband is great and I love him, but I not him.

Maybe you feel different, and that's fine. I'm just saying I had a really, really strong gut instinct to keep mine. Also, if you've published, it can be a continuity problem.

I'm going to be all fusty and old-fashioned and vote for changing your name to Erwin, or at least, moving Taylor to the middle (Jessica Jo Taylor Erwin). I know, it's patriarchal and it's crap, but honestly--it just makes life easier when everyone in the household has the same last name.

Plus, just think how many notches up the alphabet you'll go!

I like # 4 the best too, but --

We were just talking about this at work the other day and I learned that having two last names without a hyphen causes major problems with the Social Security Administration. This wouldn't be a big deal if it was a problem with the library, or the movie rental place, but the SSA could make your life hellish.

So, since you asked, I guess I'd vote for #5. But #6 would be so flippin' awesome!
