Keeping Up with the Smoneses. . .

A recent article in the British Observer claimed that some American newlyweds were blending their last names to have a new last name. I guess the Branjolina and Tomkat articles about movie stars started all this but I put together some blended names for our family.

We could have the Hawkoffs or the Shupps. Or we could have the Tchekins or Quibells. Then there could be the Isbinns or the Shilzes or the Offbrands and the Quitts.

I think if this catches on, all the geneologists will have to placed in mental institutions - they can't handle the pressure !

That is hilarious! I think you hit the nail on the head with the Hawkoffs and Shilzes (or was that Shitzes?). HAHA

I guess I'm a Macurrill or a BurInnis. Something like that...
