Clearly, I need one of my same named relatives to become a beloved and well known member of the community that I live in.
The possibilities are limited.

Either that, or you and your Hubby should just choose a new name for yourselves. My sister threatened to merge her husband's name and our name so they would become the Murphingers. Of course, even though they didn't do that, it is now what we always call them.

I can't think of a way to do that that would be an improvement.

Thrive to spite them
Omigod.
I just got a call because there's no one to represent our division in this meeting that starts soon. Annoying Co Worker is next in line to go, but he's trying to get lunch (still on premises), he wants me to go but I'm the only one in the office and can't go. I tell him this.
Then he asks me to call Cool Coworker and see if he'll go. I don't have his cell number I say, you should call him. Annoying Coworker then tells me ---
"He's down here, and I can see him, I just don't want to ask him. You call."
And because I'm an adult and don't act 3 (most of the time) I told him no, he's going to have to ask.
I just heard Cool Coworker's cell go off so I can assume that Annoying Coworker tried to call instead of walking over and asking.

How about just "-s"?
My last name is pronounced pretty much the way it's spelled, but it's nine letters in an unfamiliar configuration. Most people just say "Ginger...." and look at me hopefully.

I could have traded for a technically simpler name, but, eh. This has been a PITA for so long that it's a part of me!

Compassionately intolerant
I'm thinking that three hours would probably have moved me beyond apologetic through apoplectic and into apocalyptic.
I'm so going to use this Fay. Excellent alliteration.
Yeah, for bridezilla supreme?...red wine, garotte, whatever. But some kind of reaction other than toadying. Sheesh.
