How many have your name?

I used to be unique, until I got married and sold out (literally) and changed my name. I never planned to change my last name, but we ended up having the same last name because of all the checks we got for the wedding written out to "Charles and Molly Campbell." That makes me a sellout. Recently I've begun to wonder if there is a way to change it back, and while Charles is supportive of the idea, I have also become very attached to the name Campbell. I want to have the same last name as my kids, too. Can you just give kids whatever last name you want? Then I could choose one for me and for my kids. Or maybe they can be Meppen-Campbells. I don't see either of our families being very enthusiastic about that idea. Mostly I'm writing this entry to freak my mom out. Got ya!

Yeah, according to that site, there aren't any Natalie West or Natalie Shirts in the US. I happen to know someone by that name. It bases it on how common the name is and the likelihood that someone will have that combination.
If it makes you feel any better, you'll always be Molly Meppen to me.

To me too... I am apparently the only Starla Aragon. I wouldn't doubt that...

I totally agree about the last name thing. I went from oswald to miller. Lame lame lame last name.
