If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
Ha! I'm joking, of course. So I've decided to go ahead and make the big name switcheroo once Pete and I get married. So, in preparation, I did a little internet research into my soon-to-be new surname.
Etymology: Ryan is Gaelic from Ó Riain and means 'little king'
Motto: I would rather die than be disgraced*
Famous Ryans: I read through the list, but most of them aren't American. Of the ones that were, the only one I knew much about was...Nolan Ryan :)
*I think the motto is a little bit harsh. I don't think I'm going to be adopting that one :) As George McGovern said, "When you admit you're wrong, what you're really telling people is that you know more today than you did yesterday." I think I'll stick with George on that one :)
