Gwyn.—Gwyn is an old Welsh family name on my side. More recently it was spelled "Guinn", but we decided to use the older spelling.

If this becomes a tradition, it would link patrilineal names to the Y chromosome (something the dominant English system already does) and matrilineal names to the mitochondrial chromosome (a feature sorely lacking in the English system).
We love you, li'l Lulu!
Congratulations, Mike! Beautiful girl. Your genes are really awesome! You can now die knowing your genes have been successfully passed on!
ReplyDeleteThanks! But, correction: ~50% of my genes. Which is a good start....
ReplyDeleteI love your decision about the last names. That's just about the coolest thing I've heard. Add that to the fact that you were married in a Darwin Church and you guys are basically my heros. Congrats on your first child! She's lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys!
