Marriage and surnames

When my daughter's mother passed, I chose to have my daughter's last name hyphenated to include both our last names out of respect.

my sons name is aidan west bohannon-thornton

aidan cuz of his mothers irish ancestry.
west cuz of her grandfathers last name.
bohannon is her last name (we werent married at the time of his birth)
thornton is mine.

it was a monstrosity for him to learn how to spell.

Sam O'Connor does not evolve. He is a retrograde strain of humanity.

Accidents happen.

Oh, and it's mutual. My last name is her second middle name.

First, congrats on the impending arrival!!! And congrats on the marriage! When did that happen?!

And second, what happened to you being terrified of people finding out who you actually are? Or have you decided that we're trust worthy

Nobody's trustworthy, not even me.

We got married two weeks ago. Thanks

How do you think my kid will fare trying to spell Tarkhnishvili? I hear it takes many Georgians until they are 12 to spell their name.
