I should be "Adam Nelson." My grandma remarried when my dad was little and changed his name along with hers to the last name (Gnade) of her new husband. "Adam Nelson" would be so much easier.

But Gnade is so distinctive! I hope your grandma had an easier time with Gnade-bearing husband #2

Haha, I think all those grandma husbands were maybe not wonderful. I've heard "Gnade" was a clan of Vikings who settled in Russia a bunch years ago.
