I'd bet twenty years from now, the children hate them for doing that. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 09:26 19
- I think in less than that, every September, they are going to hate themselves, when they have to keep explaining things to the School Staff. -- nm - landbeck Jan 6, 09:28 5
  - True. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 09:30
  - By the time they're 20 they'll be over it because they'll likely not have the same level of social connectedness. -- nm - Dano Jan 6, 09:29

- that would be kind of weird to have siblings with a different last name -- nm - kare Jan 6, 09:27 4
  - happens all the time these days -- nm - zork Jan 6, 09:28
  - plenty of kids already do though. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 09:28 2
    - They have siblings of the half- and step- variety with different last names. Inclusivity is great, but the deliberate confusion . . . confuses me. -- nm - landbeck Jan 6, 09:29
    - after i clicked post, i was very "duh." :) -- nm - kare Jan 6, 09:28
- I'd be sick of explaining why I have a different name that my brothers. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 09:27 7
  - dave's son has his last name, his half brother doesn't. they live in the same house and of course are siblings. - Andie Jan 6, 09:30

    - but why should names die out just because some families only have daughters? -- nm - zork Jan 6, 09:31 4
      - Because naming a child shouldn't be about the parent, it should be about the child. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 09:33 3
        
        then give it a name that's distinct and not from either parent -- nm - zork Jan 6, 09:35 2
        
        Now try crossing the Mexican border and get stopped for abduction! -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 09:36
        
        Then you add even more confusion. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 09:35
They're Icelandic? -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 09:26 1
- works fine for them. - Andie Jan 6, 09:41
interesting. I like this idea. -- nm - zork Jan 6, 09:24 2
- I'm the exact opposite -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 09:27 1
  - me too. barring multiple births or some kind of disaster scenarion I'm probably stopping at two, what if they're both the same sex? -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 09:31
