Since she doesn't use or particularly like her first name but thought she should do something or other symbolic, she was considering changing her FIRST name. Come to think of it, it's probably just as well that the marriage fell through.... But more or less more seriously, my S.O. and I have only discussed naming kids as far as his vetoing "x sub 1" and my vetoing "active progressive Democrat," but I think the first names that we are most likely to converge on go better with his last name than mine so we would probably use his name.... pjc
