DP's stepfather's surname was "dare". He'd have been "Dave Dare" if he'd changed his name when his mother remarried. So cool.
I kept asking him why he hadn't changed his name too (he didn't keep in touch or like his dad at all anyway) and eventually he said,
"Because I was 22. It would have been WEIRD!"
Oh. I'd thought he was about 8!
still love the name though. DD could totally rock being a Dare instead of her actual surname which rhymes with a fair few unfortunate things.
