[Quiet Man Cometh]

It's random. There is always a rare currency and common one, the one being harder to obtain than the other. It is essentially random but there is an average worked in so that there is one gold ribbon per so many silvers, etc. It's never spot on though, but close enough. Not sure of the ratio this time around though, but gold will be harder to get than silver.

I'd like to keep my name when I get married, primarily because it's short (only four letters), I like it, and currently I'm the last one in the family that has it, minus whatever relatives there are in England that I don't know about. My dad and uncle had girls. I'd probably hyphenate for myself but wouldn't fuss about a kid. S/he could have my last name as a middle name if hypothetical daddy is okay with it.
