[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an adoptive parent, but single so that's different. I'm also a teacher so I've seen plenty of kids with last names. I know families who -- Use one parent's last name. Sometimes one parent takes the lead on the process or values their name more than the other. -- Hyphenate -- Make up a new name that blends the two old names (I know a family where one parent is Hollister, and one is Hammond, and the kids are Holland) -- Make up a new name that is unrelated (I know a family where parents had two different names and chose a name that was meaningful for the kids. When parents married they changed their names to the new name too. New name is totally unrelated to both parents' original names.) All of them seem to work out fine. [/quote] Don't make up names or blend. That is bizarre. One last name and one as middle, two last names, two last names with hyphen or just one last name.[/quote]
