- If only all the Colsmiths in the world weren't temporarily residing
- overseas, one of the two of them might post to tell what they did.
- They chose a new name and both adopted it.

- By the way, if any of you are ever faced with a difficult decision on
- a name change, you should appreciate having the choice. My sister
- got married in Germany and the laws there are very restrictive.
- Either spouse may take the name of the other, or both may keep their
- own. *After* taking the name of the other, that spouse may re-insert
- their former name to have a hyphenated surname.
-
- Oh, and when it's time to name your baby, there are restrictions on
- that, too!
