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
