[quote=Anonymous]My husband is lobbying for a combined last name for our kid(s). Something like Patill if our last names were Patel and Hill (these are not our last names). I'm worried this will seem really dated/trashy in 10 years. The portmanteau is an actual last name - not as common as either of our last names, but a google search revealed plenty of people with it, so it wouldn't be obvious that it was a portmanteau unless you knew us. We both agree that we don't want to use his last name only, and don't want to hyphenate. My last name is nicer sounding and I'd prefer to go with his name in the middle and mine as the last name. The best argument for the portmanteau is that neither of us would mind being called "Mr./Mrs. Patill" but he would mind being called "Mr. Hill" and I'd mind being called "Mrs. Patel" (but not really. just a tiny bit). Thoughts? [/quote]
