Speaking more of names, my German maiden name isn't a pretty one (and could be, if mispronounced, made to sound like an un-nice word, not fun for a child), and when i was about 12, I complained to my mother about our name. She told me that when my sister and I were babies, she and Daddy stayed up late talking about changing their last name, and made a definite decision to do it, and picked a new last name (a "nicer" variant of the original), and she was quite pleased with the decision and the choice... but that was the last she ever heard of it. When I got married, I had no feminist hesitation at all about changing my German maiden name to N's English (faux-English!) one. There's more than one way to skin a cat.
