Expecting DC1 soon and we are trying to decide how to merge our surnames for the baby. We both agree that each of our surnames should be in there.
The options as far as I can see are to use both, with or without a hyphen, or o create a new name. Our names go quite well together, very similar to the names Smith and Perry.
So the options would be-
Perry Smith
Smith Perry
Perry-Smith
Smith-Perry
Perrysmith
Is the last one more practical seen as its one word, or are there any practical reasons to choose one in particular? None of them are jumping out as the best idea -so I wondered what other people thought sounded the best?
