Waterman, Smallwater or Smallhouse?

[CJKnox]

My surname is Waterhouse; DP's is Smallman... We are getting married soon. We're also expecting! Which new surname would you use? I think Smallwater sounds the best?

[MinnowAndTheBear]

Waterman. Smallwater sounds a little bit silly.

[TheWildRumpyPumpus]

Can you not just double-barrel?

Out of the 3 I'd go with Waterman.

[BossWitch]

Smallwater sounds like a euphemism for a little wee.

"Excuse me, I just need to go for a quick smallwater"

[CJKnox]

It doesn't sound any more silly than ours before

We don't want to double-barrel.

[EmpressKnowsWhereHerTowelIs]

I'd go with Waterman too.

But I'm mainly just relieved you're not asking about names for a forthcoming DC.

[CJKnox]

That would be hilarious

[Angelto5]

How about Houseman?

[CJKnox]

Yes, I think Waterman does sound the best, actually

[Floggingmolly]

You're going to amalgamate your surnames because you don't want to either keep your own or double barrel?

[ineedamoreadultieradult]

Waterman

[CJKnox]

We are expecting a child, how will keeping my own be helpful?

I think it sounds really bizarre double-barrelled.

[TheVirginQueen]

Definitely not Smallwater

Got to be Waterman really.

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Waterman is a brand of fountain pens, and quite a nice surname.

Smallwater sounds like a campsite I think.

[TheVirginQueen]

OP
I think it's a lovely idea!

[CurlyhairedAssassin]

Waterman. But don't name DC Dennis.

[CantThinkOfAQuirkyName]

Will you be smallwater?

If so then your DC should be smallwater too or theyd be the only waterman.

And regardless I think you should all be smallwater

[CJKnox]

We would all have our surname as the same

[TheVirginQueen]

Do you know what small water makes me think of? when the nazis gave names to the Jewish. Like Rosenstock means pink stick.

I really hope I have not offended any body whose sur name is similar to small water, but I think (?) it's well known that Gold Water was a sur name attributed in a disparaging way.

[TheVirginQueen]

Waterman sounds good imo

[RockyRoadster]

Houseman?

[Oysterbabe]

I like Waterman and I think it's a good idea. I personally don't like double barrelled names and this way you all have the same name but keep a little bit of your old name.

[stiffstink]

I'd go with Houseman because I might be slightly obsessed with Dirty Dancing. Then you'd have a Baby Houseman!

[chinlo]

What about MANWATER?

That's my fave.

[chinlo]

Although Waterman is good because if you have a son called Jack, for example, people can say "Jack... What a man"

[CantThinkOfAQuirkyName]

Sorry op I got confused....,

You should all be smallman if that's your dps surname
