We welcome your suggestions. Please email njwdance@baltwirl.com. Thank you.Dear Naomi & Bob, In such a dilema, some just keep their same names - it certainly avoids a lot of work of course, and for females who change their last name - it avoids that feeling of temporarily falling into a black hole as people really try to remember - now what's her new last name. I simply kept my maiden name as my middle name and went from there. I've hear of some couple who pick an entirely new last name altogether - then both have the work and feeling like they fell into that black hole - the only difference is you'll be falling there together. Have fun at whatever you choose. Lots of possibilities. Weinkin, Hofner, Hofweiner, etc. Love, Teresa Motz West Naomi & Bob Bobenaomi After half a lifeline creating an identity for yourself - it is important to keep that up - so go for the hyphenated name for special purposes - otherwise just retain Bob Hofkin and/or Naomi Weiner. Love, Mother W E I N E R If not hyphenated, how about intercalated. Richard Winston H O F K I N WHEOIFNKEIRN Don't change anything - you're both perfect as you are.
