Some couples give the father's surname to daughters and the mother's surname to sons. For their firstborn, Pierce Barker and Carol Frost of Friendship, Md., did not bother with family at all, nor were they intimidated by the perils of hyphenating. They gave the child the surname Roth-Tubman, after the author Philip Roth and the 19th century abolitionist Harriet Tubman. Similarly, in Newton, Mass., Harry Finkelstein and Jamie Kelem junked their surnames and became the Keshets...
