Hi, I'm Oracle! Actually, "Oracle May", but that usually makes people ask me "Oracle may what?", which

You could always invent a last name. That's what my aunt's done, I think.

[cookiesneedlove]

Really? What did she use?

[whirlpoolesbian]

Her not-at-all biological brother's father-who-happens-to-be-my-uncle's last name.

[cookiesneedlove]

Oh! I see!

...

Actually, I don't. What was that again?

[whirlpoolesbian]

Okay, pay attention.

I have a father. His name is Cocytus Hades. He's got a brother. His name is Phlegethon Hades. He has a son who has a sister whose name is Joffy. Joffy is my mum's little sister. Somehow, this means she should use Hades as a last name.

*tries to follow along, even nodding and saying "uh-huh" at all the right times*

*after she's finished, will think for a moment* Wait, is Phlegethon his brother or sister?

[whirlpoolesbian]

Uncle Phlegethon is Dad's brother.

[cookiesneedlove]

And "Dad" is...?

[whirlpoolesbian]

Cocytus Hades. ...that's probably the most common answer around here. There might be enough of us to form our own large country by now.

[cookiesneedlove]

Oh, okay. I think I've got it now.

You have a father named Cocytus, and she-- wait, he has a brother named Joffy, who has a daughter named Phlegethon, who's your dad's aunt's brother-in-law. And that means that your last name is Hades!

*enthusiastic thumbs up? :D?*

[whirlpoolesbian]

*oh, okay, she's amused*

Not quite. Joffy's my mum's sister and I don't think she has a daughter named Phlegethon -- at least, I hope she doesn't, because that might be too weird even for our family. And my last name is Next-Hades, because Mum and Grandma are ridiculously proud of the fact that my grandfather was a Nextian fuckup. *isn't she nice?*

[cookiesneedlove]

*blink* Does your last name change often?

[whirlpoolesbian]

Only on Tuesdays, for half an hour at a time.

[cookiesneedlove]

Oh, wow! That's awesome. Maybe that's how I should go about doing it, because then I'd never get sick of my last name!

[whirlpoolesbian]

That's certainly one way of doing it.

[cookiesneedlove]

Your way, too. But only on Tuesdays.
