For me it'll be "Martin Langhoff". I already have that. Well, that's rather egotistical considering you're probably not the only Martin Langhoff in this world. I'd advocate something like "Martin Langhoff ". At worst, things will be just like they have always been. Most likely, all that will happen is identification entropy won't increase nearly so rapidly and there might be other benefits such as shortlog speed improvements.
