[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is how my family is set up and any of the options people have listed so far would be fine for me. I am not picky.

The only unacceptable option for me is to simply ignore the fact that I have a different name and do something like "The Jones Family" (if I"m the Smith) or "Mr. and Mrs. Jones and Family" or whatever. When I get stuff addressed that way, I do feel kind of erased.

[b]Also, something a lot of people may not realize is that my kids have my last name, but as their middle names. So it's not actually accurate to say the kids all have their dad's name -- they may have their mom's name or another family name, it's just not their surname.[/b][/quote]

That doesn't count. Middle names are throwaway names. For all intents and purposes, the kids do not have your name.[/quote]

NP. Lol, no. I go by my full name (first + middle + last) in all formal and professional situations specifically in order to honor my grandfather whose first name is my middle name.

does that mean I insist on getting Christmas cards addressed with my full name? no. but it's also not a "throwaway" just because you personally don't use yours.[/quote]

Unless you introduce yourself as Hillary Rodham Clinton each and every time you use your name, your name is Hillary Clinton. [/quote]
