On I'm Changing My Name, Again
@sophia_h Not confusing in my household. If we'd had more, we probably would have kept alternating. (and notsoartsy, no, I'm not your professor)

@Swisschard Or just mix it up -have some of each. Sounds confusing, but it's really not.

On I'm Changing My Name, Again
(sorry for the non-post)
I think people should call themselves what they want. I kept my name, our two kids - one of each has one of ours. This may be confusing for people reading the school directory (perhaps they think we're a blended family with children from prior relationships?) but who cares. We are still in every sense of the word a family.
Oddly enough, my elderly father wants to give the family bible to my son who has my last name. Even though I have a niece who also shares our name. Because she's a girl? So she will just change her name WHEN she gets married? And she can't pass the family name on!!! (this may have something to do with why I feel so strongly about keeping mine)
