When I married my husband and I  decided no family names from either side of the family and then nobody could possibly be offended.

Got it all figured out.  When I have children, I'm going to have the following:
- Edward James - after my great-grandfather.
- Austin Webster - Two family names that I just can't get enough of. :P
- Julietta Doris - the Doris after my grandmother (whom I was really close too), but the Julietta I just like.
- Kenturah Rose - Rose after my great-grandmother, and Kenturah is just such a great name I can't not use it.  :P
Currently engaging in a one-name study of the Twyman surname.

Golding, Twyman, Kennard, Wales (Kent).
Berks, Challinor (Staffordshire).
Wakely. (Glam & Monmouth).

Hi Joseph seems to run in my family.  My dads and uncle middle name and my first name. And I continued this by calling my 3 sons Joseph middle names only.
