Hey y& #39;all — I& #39;m getting married tomorrow and taking my wife& #39;s name. Had to make a rebrand joke, srry.

See thread for why I& #39;m taking her name https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">

Long story short, my grandpa was a priest, wasn& #39;t allowed to get married, and had a secret family. As a way to help keep this all hidden, the kids were all given the last name Morrison — as the story goes — chosen by opening a phonebook and pointing at random.

On the other hand, my wife& #39;s last name comes from her Japanese father, and can be traced back for hundreds and hundreds of years. Since my father-in-law doesn& #39;t have siblings, and my wife only has a sister, there& #39;s not a whole lot of people to carry on the Miyoshi name.

I figured her name is the better choice out of the two, so why not! As of tomorrow afternoon, I will no longer be Ryan Morrison, and instead: Ryan Miyoshi

Another fun fact: The Miyoshi& #39;s have been living in California for more generations than my own family has been in the US!
