Random thoughts on naming kids

Our evil scheme is two children, one with Corey's last name and one with mine - because after all, why should I be the only Berube in my family?

Our coin-flip on whose name goes first will be whether child #1 is a boy or a girl - boy gets Yanofsky, girl gets Berube. Child #2 then gets the other name. Corey and I will both answer to either, such that people we know through our children can call me Mrs. Yanofsky without being corrected but they can also call Corey Mr. Berube.

Anybody who complains that this is too complicated will be told that the other alternative is changing everyone's name to Berubofsky.

Yeah, Corey likewise picks up on the "boff" thing. Myself, I just think it's goofy-sounding. We could do Yanube...but then we'd run into that perennial problem of the "ube" being pronounced "oob", which in this part of the country "Berube" actually mostly avoids...
