Stick thinks I should change my name when we get married. I say no, not because I don’t like the Malavette name, but because there are lots of Mrs. Malavettes but only one Meg Stivison. So I came up with a counter offer.
“Why not?” I asked him. “Lots of people hyphenate!”
“But you’re not talking about Malavette-Stivison.”
“What? There’s a hyphen in Julio-Claudian!”

DO IT!
That’s what I said!
You are totally right, Meg! I too will hyphenate my name to Carvalho-Lallo!!
Would your students have to call you Mrs. Julio-Claudian?

You should both change to Simpson. I keep thinking that is your last name anyway, and Stick Simpson just sounds right.
We get junk mail addressed to the Simpson Family already!
Any chance you might want to write a few posts for my site?
