[quote=Anonymous]Seems like a totally reasonable plan to me... go for it!

Just looked into the actual DC law (we have a different but related situation-- combining my hyphenated name MyMom'sName-MyDad'sName & his into MyMom'sName-HisName for our child-- and got a little worried by your quote of the website), and I think we're both fine:

http://dccode.org/simple/sections/7-205.html

(5) The surname of the child shall be the surname of a parent whose name appears on the child's birth certificate, or both surnames recorded in any order or in hyphenated or unhyphenated form, or any surname to which either parent has a familial connection. If the chosen surname is not that of a parent, [b] or a combination of all or part of both surnames[/b], either or both parents shall provide an affidavit stating that the chosen surname was or is the surname of a past or current relative or has some other clearly stated familial connection. Submission of an affidavit containing false information shall be punishable under § 7?225.
