Quote from: merithyn on February 17, 2014, 03:17:15 PMIt was a thing for us. I don't remember who's idea it was (his or mine). The name was just something that we came up with that we both really liked. It has a meaning that we liked, and we liked how both of our names sounded with it.

i've never heard of that before. is it a real last name or completely made up/fake last name (like naming a girl "apple")?

A real last name.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Thank you for your lukewarm approval. :D

It works for us. We're happy with our decision.

A name that a man allows a woman to take.

What makes a last name "real"?

Being something people have used for hundreds of years.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

So it wasn't real for the first couple of centuries? What was it then?

Typically an occupation or a birth place.

Just seems good manners no matter who you are holding the door for.

From ahead of traffic, I will hold the door open for anybody behind me;  men get a 6- to 8-ft launch window, and women get an extended 10- to 15-ft extension, and will continue to do so for all women within that distance within an appropriate time frame until the next male approaches within that distance, and then I turn over the door-opening baton, as it were.

From behind traffic, I will try to grab the door for women, and at least take over the 2nd half of the door-opening motion even if it's cursory, like being obligated to half-stand when a woman gets up from her seat at the table.  Unless I'm in a hurry, and then my 225 pounds will have to plow through her like Rob Ford going through an octogenarian city councilwoman.

And I realize that I've thought about this way too much, but it's a much more intuitive system in real life situations.

He's only black in February.  Next month he'll be Filipino or something.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
