You are right. It's gone. Seems that they retired it from use (which they do from time to time). If there is a lot of residents with a certain last name, that one is dropped from the registration selection list. Consequently, I fear that your wife will have to take another last name. Well, this is the 21st century, so why not?  |

Last names are only available for a limited time. Once they're "used up", LL removes them from the name pool and replaces them with new ones. So, no, March isn't available anymore. Sorry

Ken, your wife will get the full list of available last names when she is registering. I donÄt think that new last names are published in any newsletter.

I believe when a last name is used 150 times, it becomes unavailable. I don't think there is a way to know what is new and what has been used up other than while making a new account.
