Firefly Glen But you see, it's not me

She seemed surprised enough that it must not be a normal convention.  Yeah.  My mom's name is Towhee, my dad's name is Phox, and they have a bunch of siblings named things like 'Raven' and 'Titmouse'.  Towhee had mentioned a few others, but those were the two she'd heard the most about.  One not in the best light.

That second part was definitely not true though.  We've got Redhawk.  Apparently my dad got it from his parents from the pack they founded ages ago.  What if you don't want or find a mate?  I'd definitely pick my own.  She liked theirs, but she also didn't mind the idea of picking her own neat last name.  No offense, but I'd definitely ditch that tradition.  It didn't make any sense to her that her mate would automatically get to keep his name, a fact that made perfect sense given the crazy family situation she'd grown up in.
