Zoe Saldana‘s hunky husband Marco Perego took her last name after they married.
“I tried to talk him out of it,” she said in the July issue of InStyle. “I told him, ‘If you use my name, you’re going to be emasculated by your community of artists, by your Latin community of men, by the world.”
She continued, “But Marco looks up at me and says [adding an Italian accent], ‘Ah, Zoe, I don’t give a sheet.'”

The only instance of this I’ve ever personally known was a guy who was being hounded by bill collectors. Conveniently, he decided to change his last name when he got married.
I know of a guy that took his wife’s name he always hated his it was not pleasant and hers was much more palatable to him.
I had a friend who took his wife’s name, but it was because of the experience he had with his own family, and not wanting to be connected to him.
Your Delta Tau Chi name is “Caitlyn.”
My wife is a very popular and well-known in the national educational community. She kept her maiden name for that reason. People in the educational community are always calling me, “Mr. ( Her last name ). I just laugh inside.
Priorities, people. First the pictures, then the comments.
In his efforts to please and impress Zoe, i think her husband overlooked his wife’s true preference. I think she wanted a man who chose to keep his own name. The average woman wants that sign of her husband’s stability.
I’ve worked with some people whose last names (or combinations of first and last names) were so bad/suggestive that had they killed their parents over it and I was on the jury, I wouldn’t be able to find them guilty.
I would take her name in an instant.
Well done, Brother Bluto!
I tried to convince a colleague that she should keep her maiden name as her professional name... kind of a nom de plume, but she didn’t. For her the name change was a symbol of commitment to her husband.
It worked out for her, but she has left the field entirely to become a full-time mother and wife.
The other had been tossed out by his family for becoming a Christian.

I met a man who took his wife’s last name. She was from a very old, prominent, Revolutionary war era, family and didn’t want to lose that connection. So, he changed his last name to match hers. He was a laid-back guy and was totally fine with it.
I hope he brings it back when he’s done with it.
Six months and the marriage is annuled. Chicks don’t want some beta doormat.
"This could be us, but ___________." (Insert deal-breaker at the end; "you're racist")
I'll take a devoted, Christian woman any day, even if she were black. (I know several. They're also cute. :-P )
But a lot of black churches are in total disarray, to say the least.
Electioneering for Obama and the Democrats, for instance? W/T/F? They are diametrically opposed to the very concepts that lie at the root of Christianity, to say nothing of Obama's fake life.
If they actually practiced what they preached, there wouldn't be much of a need for racially-segregated churches, IMO.

Sorry, a bunch of wires crossed in my head just now, like a jammed typewriter, or cheap matrix keyboard...and this came up.
I ought to ping HTRN instead...
so she is the man of the house...
