PSA: My (almost adult now) children are interested in switching to using hyphenated family names of both their parents. It's going to take some effort to update all their legal paperwork, but to support them I'm going to start using the hyphenated family name in that format as well -- at least unofficially. I'm still the same person and you can still just call me "Kay."

(Yes, yes, I know "Ryabitsev-Prime" is a mouthful and sounds like an alien world or a doomsday comet. You're just jealous.)

@monsieuricon now I've been remembered of "Pandora's Star" and I'm half-terrified ๐Ÿคฃ

@monsieuricon Iโ€™ve always wondered if the hyphenated names make using your โ€œmotherโ€™s maiden nameโ€ useless as a security word for banks?

@rostedt If your bank still uses "your mother's maiden name" as a security measure, you should find a different bank.

@monsieuricon Honestly, I just thought "Optimus-Prime's Slavic Brother"...

@monsieuricon My initial thought was you found a biiiig prime number that got named after you. I wondered why you added that to your name and guessed youโ€™re proud of your finding :-D

@ukleinek if I change my last name to just "Prime" then, technically, our children will be the product of two primes.
