The last time my friend Halper was thinking of getting married,
we discussed names.  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....
