(Not that it requires a justification either way. It’s a personal choice.)
I was treated by a Dr Payne once … contrary to his name, he wasn’t a pain.
Some determitive nominalism.
My bio teachers last name was “MoCock.” His wife’s first name is "Love."We just called him,“Mr. Mo”. I think it’s crazy she took his name, lmao.
I know a girl named Paige that married a man with the last name Page.
We call her Page 2. It’s also fun when they disagree and I ask if they can get on the same page.
I had a job in data management where I came across someone whose name is Wandaholmes Holmes.
I have a friend named Blair who married a man with the last name Blair. We call her “Blair Squared” and she hates it.
At that point I’d just go full legal mononym like Cher and Teller.
I know a couple with the same name (one masculine one feminine version). Their names can both be shortened to “little bear”. I will never stop calling them collectively “Haribo”
Michał and Michalina?
Changes my name to McMoney
Looks for rich woman to marry and offer her my last name as incentive
inversion of nominal determinism?
My dudes… Dr. Strange is my new neighbor!
She’s a veteran… but I’m kind of an animal so I figure it should be OK 😎
Also; 2 cats, one of which is definitely smarter than the average bear… the other, is orange.
I never thought I would mind changing my last name when getting married until it actually happened, and I was surprisingly emotional about it. It felt like I was erasing my identity or something, a totally unexpected feeling that came out of nowhere. It was also weird to have to change my signature after having it for so many years.
We ended up getting divorced 7 years later and I reclaimed my maiden name, and needless to say, if I ever get married again, I will not be changing my last name. It was also a nightmare of paperwork to change it (both to get married and divorced), and I don’t want to do that yet again.

Glad you got to reclaim your name, Ms. Mouse.
I had a roommate who was in med school. He wanted to be a psychiatrist. His surname was Carver, so naturally he became a surgeon.
