The name game: now with kung-fu grip poll!
With less than two months until the wedding, I am forced to finally make a very personal, very important decision.
Or, to make it sound a bit more fun, it is time for me to play THE NAME GAME.
Since I am adopted, I've already gone through the name change once. Of course, I was ten at the time, and didn't have a bachelor's degree, credit cards, bank accounts and other various ecoutrements that come as one drifts further into adulthood.
I like my current last name. It's cool and you can sing it in Pat Benatar's "Heartbreaker" with relative ease.
Not to mention that I am the last one. Seriously, my adopted father WAS the last one, until he passed the buck onto me. Nice one, old man.
But then Jonathan has a cool last name. It's very British and my super Catholic first and middle name (Mary Christin) would slide into the forename spot with ease.
Also, if I did take his last name than my Irish twin, who is also getting married this year, and I would end up with the same married initials. Freaky!
