When my husband and I were engaged, we enjoyed playing around with potential mash-ups for of our last names to create a new “family name” that we would both take once we were married. While we did not end up actually doing this, the exercise eventually evolved into imagining what our family crest would look like, if we were somehow the kind of landed gentry that had such things (we are not). We eventually came up with a very vivid image, which I hold in my mind’s eye to this day, of a brown bear downhill skiing, a red scarf flying behind him.
