Owl, I considered that arrangement but it seemed even more convoluted than what I currently have (since I have two mismatched Icelandic last names).
So you are taking your man's last name, but keeping both your middle and maiden names. Which name do you put down when a form asks for your middle name? Which name when they ask for your last name? Those are the confusing parts for me.
Also, I forgot to mention that I'm an only child... so yeah, the name stops with me, but then again, it only started with me in the first place
since Icelanders don't have family names.
So I guess it's no big loss, in that sense.
