I'm looking for someone to do one for the Boss Man. I think I've already found someone though, gotta wait for them to go on lunch so I can talk to them in detail.
Fuck the "pass the name on" bullshit. It is just a stupid name that will be bastardized into something that sounds completely different as time marches forward.
I don't know if I'm going to take Choco's name when I get married. I've been MISS FANCY PANTS MCGEE my entire life, I don't want to be LORD PIZZA ROLLS, KING OF NEWFOUNDLAND. But he is the only guy in his generation of EL CHOCOSTEINS, so he has to pass the name on.
You should each take each other's names:

His kids can still have his name, even if you don't take it.

If you want to keep your name, go ahead. The children can take his name or the hyphenate. It still gets passed down.

What's up chat! I worked until 4AM last night. It wasn't fun. But I got to sleep to noon then watch that star trek movie about the clone guy so that was kind of good.

Man, I'm sorry, Arch, I didn't realize that that was a serious question. I was just fucking around.
Naw dude its cool
I kinda made him qualify it as a serious question before I actually answered it
I fucking hate the obvious jokes people make when hearing something like that.
Like I said, if I'd've thought he was for real, I wouldn't have said anything. I get the same fucking jokes about my name every time I hand a credit card to someone. It got old long ago.
When I hear jokes about my name, I just use it as an opportunity to drive home just how unoriginal the joke is. If I have to cringe hearing it, they get to cringe at my reply.
I changed my name because I was tired of getting the "Question, Mark? hahaha" line. WEll, partially. The other is that Mark just sucks for a name and Turing is soooo much better.
I have literally been waiting for this for so long you have no idea.
almost everytime I load up facebook i was like "is his name REALLY turing or is that facebook shenanigans?"
You... could have asked. But my name is really Turing, but I wasn't born Turing.
I felt it was rude....but in retrospect given who I would be asking I realize now that the barriers on what is "rude" in the context of asking you questions is kind of high
There was a note about my name change on my Facebook profile. You could have looked a little harder, dude. :-P
worst case scenario I get really really nauseous, and thanks to both my lack of peristalsis and the nissin fundoplication I can't throw up!
win/win!
You are still a pretty tiny guy right? 'cause if you have any largish friends, you could totally get an airplane ride.
Then you can both throw up together!
I miss being small enough for that.
oh god worst thing about summer camp
naive arch said- "oh yeah i can't swallow real well...the muscles don't really work. yeah if you hold me upside down and the food hasn't yet reached my stomach it will come back up"
really really large pre teens (relative to arch)- "oh...reaaaaalllly?"

Having spent a few minutes saying them aloud, i think Cassandra Odell sounds quite nice, maybe just because it's a surname i have never heard before.
Also - I'd imagine you'd have to have kids before he could pass the name on. For example, my aunt kept her maiden name after being married, but their children were given their fathers name so that all worked out.
Edit - beaten so hard.

Not too hard unless they want to really go nuts. It just stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats. You can do cross sectional analysis too if you want to really get elaborate.
So you just detail your firm/unit's strengths and weaknesses (fairly straightforward). Then you detail its opportunities (future potential opportunities in the business) and threats (what could derail your shining success).
If you get fancy you can make a 2x2 grid and combine the SW aspects of the business with the OT parts. So Strength column at the top, then a weakness column. Opportunity row on the left side, followed by a threat row. Then you can mix and match for funsies. So the SO grid would contain ways in which you would leverage your identified strength to capture future opportunities. The ST box would have how you would use your strengths to hedge against future threats. Etc etc.
It is a very stereotypically MBA type of analysis.

Ow, ow, ow. Stress headache, for the first time in my life.
Organizing international business deals is rough.
I had me a wicked caffeine withdrawal headache this morning. Had like 3 glasses of iced tea which kind of helped, but man that coffee has me under its yolk. Don't really realize it until you skip the mornin' dose.

my initials will be RAZR

My last name is not very common at all
So 90% of my friends call me by my last name
yehp- drink lots of fluids to help facilitate
and it must be corrected that I CAN swallow, I just have very poor (almost non existent) esophageal peristalsis

I will not give it up

So your last name is the name of a bunch of cousin fuckers who loved to screw over the peasants.
I think I will just name any child I have Judas Iscariot just to be a dick to him or her.

Go go societal hypocrisy!
Meaning the contractions that slide the food down into your stomach?
But it's really hot here like whoa. Also I'd really like a glass of chardonnay right now.
It could be a symptom of having insects crawling all over oneself.
you are right
i am the embarrassed
Don't have the child in Germany. It's illegal to name a child Judas in Germany.
yeah
the ones you don't control consciously
like i can get the food INTO the esophagus easy enough, but after that it is anyone's game
and by anyone i mean gravity
Fine. I'll just name him Adolf Hitler if he is born in Germany.

I dunno, your last name's unique. I'd never seen it before meeting you.
