What's in a name?




So, a few years ago when Alan asked me to marry him, I sent out a mass email to my medical school classmates. I knew there would be speculation about whether or not I would change my name. I announced that we would be known as the van Eaglegiessens and the response I got was, well, tepid. One chum suggested some sort of intervention to let me know this was a stupid idea. C'mon people, it's a joke. To set the record straight, Lego and I are Eaglesons; Delia, Stuart and Alan are van Giessens. One family, two names.
