Friends commented on Facebook about yesterday’s post, in which I mourn the loss of my current last-name, how there’s a combo-trend.
Ya know, like making two last names into one? Hilarious, yet striking. It does not allow for lineage/legacy to continue, though – which is a huge letdown. However the possibilities are humorous:
Wanalistamon. -sounds Rastafarian!
Salista -sounds Hispanic
Salamista -sounds like salami
Wanalamon -sounds like a designer shoe, or a watermelon disease
Laugh with me on these, and then post your created last name combos below in comments!
(don’t make me look like a loser, go ahead and comment!)
Living in our nation's capital allows me to learn something new every day. So does teaching 2nd graders. My nose piercing and tattoos keep me from normalcy, while my job and religion keep me grounded.
