Surname and arbitrariness

If I'm given the chance to change his surname, as now leads me rather Booty, Rothschild, Gates or other equally prestigious and profitable.

But maybe I have not understood the new law and the thing is not that bad. There is a man who's last name? Alvarez and this prosaic nickname, you see, is the owner of El Corte Ingles, a trifle, as it were.

The truth is that the choice between the names of one or other of the spouses has created a mess of cracking: for if there were not already enough reasons for friction between the partners, the Government is offering them free another. The pear.

It happened with tennis great Chris Evert, who then called Chris Lloyd and I ended up losing sight when she married Andy Mill such a

Centuries ago it was easier. Because people who's name was Madrid, Salamanca, Valencia, ... because in principle had no known parents. Over time, things evolved and now there Navarro has never been in that land or Gallego has ever come from Andalusia.

Therefore, by in vitro fertilization and other inventions of genetics, the new law applied blindly surnamed many children would eventually Probe, rental and other names each one more bizarre.
