In re the name thing, I know somebody who portmanteaued herself. Formerly himself, because it's a doctor in my local practice who is m-to-f. So Roy Blipowitz-Blopton became Deborah Blipblop.
(Names changed to protect the ridiculous.)
All things considered, it seemed like an elegant compromise; and after all, if you're going to change your first name, your wardrobe, and your goolies, that's the time to work the kinks out of your surname as well.
