What do you think of this surname?!

Hello!

My partner and I have two quite boring surnames - Jones and Long.

We can't really combine as Long Jones sounds like 'long johns' and also just a bit dirty. Jones Long not much better.

Any ideas and suggestions of what we can do? Mother's surname is Glass and doesn't quite work either!

Thank you!

Jones-Glass?

I'd just choose Jones.....neither is remarkable. We use both ours for our children but it's because mine is very nice and also, it would have died if we hadn't because none of my sisters used it.

Go with Jones?

Jones Long looks better than Long Jones, if you did choose both.

Why is everyone saying go with Jones? Go Long

Give the baby your surname
Whichever one it is.

NameChange30 · 20/10/2020 22:37

Jones-Long is fine.
Otherwise give baby your surname, as Bernadette said.

Long Jones.
Long Johns.
Another name for longjohns: 'thermals'

Thermal doesn't sound like a bad surname.

Added bonus: if anyone asked the origin of your surname, you'd have a pretty funny story to tell

Matilda Jones Long

All names suit it

HalfBloodPrincess · 21/10/2020 08:27

Use Jones as a second middle name and Long as the surname.

IckleBear · 21/10/2020 09:15

Jones-Glass

JM10 · 21/10/2020 09:35

Jones-Long is fine

LittleTiger007 · 21/10/2020 10:44

Go for whichever one (personally I’d chose husband’s name to have same name as your children) and then give your children longer first names to balance it out.

NameChange30 · 21/10/2020 11:48

"I’d chose husband’s name to have same name as your children"

Eh? Or just given children your own name and don't change yours if/when you get married.

Give the DC the mother's surname.
