She kept her maiden name (Lyn Dearborn), and we named our son Kevin Erik Dearborn Olson. I feel that a hyphenated last name is often a burden to a child (I went to school with several, and at times people made their life miserable) When Kevin gets old enough to care, both of us feel that he can choose what combination of names he wants to use. (Many people change their names when they leave home anyway, you may as well let them do it when they want to do so. I adopted Dave as my legal first name, and abandoned my middle name when I moved out of my parent's home, and started filling out legal forms on my own.)
