I have been rather looking forward to a new surname - the current one being both common and that of a commonly imbibed beer, but I find that the new surname on offer is pretty much just as common (at least it is here in Minnesota) and I am not entirely certain I can be arsed to bother with getting all new paperwork and stuff. We'll see.

I do have avocado in my healthy lunch.
But it's not a cupcake. (I seriously want that frosting SO BAD. I have to keep telling myself, "Self, you only have to wait until 6:00 for cupcakes. Be a grown-up!" And, as 6:00 gets closer and closer, it gets harder and harder to wait. SUCH AGONY, I TELL YOU.)
In re names - I remember hearing about a local man whose last name is O. Just O. Which causes as much of a problem as the too-long names (and, yes, The Story of O is always full of pain).
