I _really_ don't like being called Daniel because it was what my father
always called me, I almost always call myself Dan. Morrison I despise
because it is my father's name (do you sense a sort of bad relationship
thing going on here?) When I get around to it, I intend to change my name to
my mother's maiden name: Jones, which means another ffeil Iewan on the list!

My mother, on the other hand divorced my father when I was 16, and still
calls herself Kay Morrison, not Jones. When talking about our extended
family, we tend to call ourselves the Jones family, even though none of us
carries the name save my grandmother!
