Neither dp nor I like our surnames.

We are expecting and I'm wondering whether a solution would be to hyphenate our (surname) middle names? They are both 3 syllables so it would be quite long but they are good,messy to spell names that sound good together.

Has anyone ever done this?

I know a couple who both changed their names to the same one when they got married. They just picked one they liked the sound of. That'll confuse future genealogists.

Never come across that, but I do know a couple who merged their surnames to make something new - along the lines of North and Aldgate to make Northgate.
