This is another interesting question -- what *do* you call your children
when you and your SO have different last names?  Is hyphenation the answer?
Do you call the first one by the one spouse's last name and the next one
by the other?  Do you go traditional and give them all the husband's name, or
give them all the wife's?  What other alternatives are there?
