Well he's Colombian and my name is Colleen can you get more Irish than that? So it sounds kind of stupid!!! But anything is better than my last name that sounds like a first name!

I know!! And I already picked my kid's names and if I have a boy he is going to be named Aidan. So, little Aidan O'___ is going off to hebrew school! Talk about sticking out like a sore thumb.

Believe me, he wont be the only one! My sister has an irish last name and my nephews are not the only ones in hebrew school with non jewish last names - guess interfaith marriages are still rising!!

Anyway, i love my FH last name - its Spanish but not a typical / common name - its actually very pretty

Yea I definitely had Tara O'brien and Brian murphy in my hebrew school class growing up but their judaism was always questioned!

Do you find it hard to order airplane tickets online with an O' That is my main concern. FH has a really hard time.

Re: Does everyone like.....

I like FHs last name - it's always mispronounced though (I pronounced it correctly the first time I saw it - so we knew it was meant to be). I'll be taking it but I'm so sad to be losing mine. I def wouldn't hyphenate it though.

Re: Does everyone like.....

One of my customers last name is KUNTZ. I always make them say it..even though I know it's them thanks to caller ID.

Re: Does everyone like.....

A lot of things like credit cards and ordering things online won't let you use the apostrophe...so i just skip it and will go right to the next letter...for ex: OB instead of ' B

i never ever thought about it, and it never bothered me
