Ianto Jones-Harkness and Jack Harkness-Jones. Think of how THAT will scramble the mail. I bet they still both answer to "hey you" however.

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

*LAUGHS* Oh, that would be great!

[mylittleburden.livejournal.com]

damn, this is hard. i can't pick.

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

No! This is what I depend on you people for!

[exuberantself.livejournal.com]

When in doubt, alphabetical order!

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Or make other people make the decision for you! ;)

[amarin-rose.livejournal.com]

My thought is Jones-Harkness, because while Jack may have chosen his name, there might always be this thought in his head that it isn't *really* his name. But if he takes Ianto's, then it *is* his name.

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

I thought about that too! *laughs* It's easy to forget that Jack's name really isn't "Jack Harkness".

[sgcgirl52.livejournal.com]

I think I'm leaning toward Harkness-Jones b/c Jack saying "Capt Jack Jones-Harkness" is kind of a mouthfull whereas Capt Jack Harkness-Jones and Ianto Harkness-Jones roll of the tongue better.

Either way I love the hyphen! I have a hypenated name and when I get married (when I find a boy) I will add on and have 2 hyphens. (My sisters say I will sound like a law firm but I don't care).

Again love the series/universe }=D

Mmm, good point. And it's alphabetical that way. *scratches head*

I'll just keep letting people vote. *laughs* Easy way out.

[totally4ryo.livejournal.com]

Hmm.... Captain Jack Jones-Harkness....
Didn't Jack Jones record the most popular version of "The Impossible Dream"?

[sefkhet.livejournal.com]

Harkness-Jones, because Jack Jones-Harkness is alliterative enough that it just comes out sounding wrong.

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Good point.

[totallytracy.livejournal.com]

I think Jack Jones-Harkness just sounds too weird with the two J's together - so I voted for Harkness-Jones.

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

It does seem sort of odd, doesn't it?

[lunamazes.livejournal.com]

I think Ianto will like their name in alphabetical order. :P

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

*laughs* So you're Harkness-Jones, roger that.

[truecat.livejournal.com]

It didn't bother me either way until I say Jack Jones-Harkness out loud.

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

*LAUGHS*

[invisible-lift.livejournal.com]

I think they should keep their own names. They're a progressive couple after all...

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

I thought about that, but both muses wanted to hyphenate names, and I do what they say. Sad state of affairs, a writer who's not in control of her own characters.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Neither! I'm a fan of leaving names the way they are. :D

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

I really should have put that option in. *is stupid*

[phantomreviewer.livejournal.com]

I don't really like the hypanated surnames idea personally but if you are going to do it then Harkness-Jones sounds better,

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

I like the hyphenated names. *laughs* I should have put a third option up there.
