I Need a New Surname.

[fenderlove]

I have grown weary of my surname. No one pronounces it or spells it properly (and I have a hard enough time getting people to spell my first name right 99% of the time), and it's got some rather negative connotations in Ireland and I just don't want to be connected with my father's family anymore. Someone help me pick out a new one! I'm fond of Adler (like Irene Adler in Sherlock Holmes) or going back to one of my ancestor's surnames like Boleyn, but I've always leaned towards more French names, so I was thinking maybe Millefeuille or Framboise or Saint Honoré or Alphonsine or Bijoux (though I think Savanna Bijoux sounds like a porn star name... or maybe the name of a cocktail XD ).

You're not the only one, no one spells or pronounces mine correctly either.

And then there's my first name...

We should start a club! :D My first, middle, and last names all get misspelled. I even had to get my high school diploma re-made twice because of it. :(

Be carefull what you wish for - Spike ended up with Pratt.

Awww, poor Will Pratt. I wonder what his middle name is... Probably "Ashley." XD
I think I'm going to go with Bijoux, porn star be damned! :D I have to find out how much it costs to change my surname in the courts.

If it meant that I could marry Spike, then definitely! :D

i have a hardcore name problem, with my last name being McKelley-Havron. no one bothers to put the second "e" in mckelley, and no one can spell/pronounce "haveron" correctly. agh!

but yeah, "bijoux" is a little porny... i really do like yr last name, but I Support Any Decisions You Might Make, haha.
