I think it's fine for the middle name to be a little weird. That way, if the kid really likes it, they can choose to go by that name. If they hate it, they can choose to ignore it completely or use an initial. I remember when I was a kid, everyone was telling each other our middle names to find the person with the coolest middle name. Half the girls had one of two common middle names, Lynn or Marie. I think the winner was the kid whose middle name was also the capital city of South Korea. Batman and Spider-Man is a little too weird, though. Even for a middle name.

Panfilo posted:Pnurtis and Pmurtis, all day every day. Pnurtis would make a fantastic middle name cause you'd only ever use the P (letters ending in that ee sound make good initials imo) and on the rare occasion someone asked what it stood for it'd be a hilarious conversation. Seriously tho does anyone actually care about middle names? I like my middle initial and the name itself is sentimental (related to someone in mom's family so more for her than me) but I think the only people in my life who have ever asked about my middle name has been romantic partners, it just never comes up.

PHIZ KALIFA posted:i had a relationship like this, eventually what I'd do is wait till they shut the door, then go up to it and announce that I'll be at X location when they're ready to continue. What this is is a bid for attention, they're overwhelmed verbally and trying to get some show of commitment or solidarity as a reassurance of the strength of the relationship. There's some subconscious thought process of "I'll do X and if they don't do Y it's because they don't care" so the trick is to short-circuit this logic trap by showing you care in a way that isn't Y. It's not "playing into their game" so much as "reframing their actions without their internal justification." I just ask them to send a postcard. It's not the best strategy in hindsight.

Also for the last name slapfight that was goin on a page or two ago I just think hyphens look dumb and seem like a worst of both worlds compromise. I like my last name but would be cool giving it up if my partner didn't wanna take it, I'd just take theirs. Feel like it's an important symbolic thing and the hyphen just looks like you're starting off the marriage with a dumb power struggle.

My dad is an only child and I'm his only son so I would probably insist on keeping the name going.

Long time lurker, love the thread, oh my god some of you have the most tiresome opinions have something short and sweet. quote:Wife (31,f) thinks I (32,m) should chase her when she walks away from an argument the problem is, your wife still thinks she's in a high school relationship where stomping off and moping until your boo comes to comfort you is "romantic"

A lot of the people I've known who gave a poo poo about their "family name" didn't have much history worth passing on. You live in a double-wide and molested your kids, yeah, let's keep that family legacy going. This guy was a 3rd in his line and named his firstborn the 4th. If you google his son's name, his father's comes up under the sex offender registry. Axolotl fucked around with this message at 18:39 on May 2, 2017 |

A fun "prank" to pull on your kids is sign their birth certificate with only their middle initial, but use the full middle name for their whole lives, until they turn 27 and have to sit for a security clearance interview and desperately explain to the racist, xenophobic federal employee that your parents are not in fact part of a 3-generation deep splinter cell operation designed to create the world's greatest super-soldier-spy, have them infiltrate the janitorial staff for the IRS's custodial services subcontractor, and eventually TAKE OVER THE WORLD! hi this happened to me, i did not get the job nor deported.
