4: ??? Profit!

I mean actually naming yourself "??? Profit!"
And make sure everyone pronouces it right:
"Question mark, question mark, question mark, Profit, exclaimation point."

Alternatively, you could do the dashed combination of last names suggested above.... BUT DO IT IN BINARY!!!  :D

Or do the ??? Profit! in Japanese.

Good luck explaining that one.

Did anyone care to ask the guy why the woman doesn't just take his name, or him her's? Or why not just use a double-barreled name?

Is there any reason to butcher their second name? I mean, without the reason to change, how can you suggest what to change it to?

Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?

Let's keep this on topic. I think that the idea of taking each others' last name is pretty cool, because everyone knows that sharing is caring.

I dunno, I knew a couple or two that combined their names, and it always came out sounding a little awkward. Two of my friends are getting married in a week and their names would combine pretty well, but I still think it usually sounds weird. I'd just go with hyphenating it if you must...

This. She's just in it for the sex.

Thanks everyone for the help and for for the laughs. We'll work it out on our own, likely going back to name meanings in the origin languages and such.

Something I've learned from all this though, if you simply have a name it's allowed to be judged on its own merit, but choosing to name yourself Bearer of Light, Butcher or Forest Dweller sounds silly. And as a bonus you'll offend perfect strangers.

Radical name idea: Squirtle.

I picked up the stone and carved my name into the wind.

You'd need to convince her to squirtle out a couple little riznars to fill out the ranks, but yes.

Excepting the case of twins or triplets, there will likely only be 2 little riznars
