No one can pronounce my current last name

Your CURRENT last name? You planning on changing it? I've only had one last name since I was born.

I'm not changing my last name(one branch did to how the name was pronounced). No chance. If it was good enough for my dad and my great-grandfather who I'm named after - it's good enough for me.

I was differenting between my name and the Gaelic version.

OOPS - mistake on my part.

I have no intentions of changing the last name I use on a daily basis - I am willing to change my legal name to get rid of the hyphen if one of those complaining about the hyphenated names are willing to pay for the legal hoops I must jump through to do so.

My last name is hyphenated because when I got married at age 37 and was handed a pen and told by the judge to "sign here" I signed - and realized I signed my standard signature and had to add hislastname.

No political statement, no feminazi reasons - I just made a mistake.
