For as long as they’ve been dating, people have been wondering what designer Lauren Bush would do with her famous moniker should she end up marrying fashion progeny David Lauren. Would she keep her last name? Or would she doff it and, in a wonderful confluence of events, become Mrs. Lauren Lauren? In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Bush reveals not only a sense of humor about the whole thing, but also how she plans on handling her appellation.

“Out of all the people I could’ve met and fallen in love with,” says a laughing Bush, now 26, of her husband-to-be, “it’s just ironic that David would end up with someone named Lauren.”

…The only uncertainty surrounding their marriage arose when it came to the question of her future moniker. “I think it will be Lauren Bush-Lauren. That’s not final, but I think it’s nice to have the same name as your husband. I am sort of old-fashioned in that way.”

While it doesn’t exactly avoid the issue, it’s probably as happy a medium as she’s going to get.
