(Not that it requires a justification either way. It's a personal choice.)
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 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?
Rosstopher and Rosstophina.
Paige Davis married Patrick Page but did not take his last name.
I have a friend named Blair who married a man with the last name Blair. We call her "Blair Squared" and she hates it.

Your name is now Johnson Johnson?
Johnson-Johnson if you're nasty.
At that point I’d just go full legal mononym like Cher and Teller.
My parents know a lady names Kelly who married a man with the last name Kelley. Kelly Kelley.
Please tell me they double barreled it
I used to have a manager named Kelly who had recently divorced a man with the last name Kelly
Kelly Kelly
Still makes me laugh
Poway?
I was treated by a Dr Payne once ... contrary to his name, he wasn't a pain.
inversion of nominal determinism?
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.
Holy shit I love that for her. I'd give up my name too
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.
Veterinarian?
Yeah, probably I’m pretty bad at spelling stuff ☺️
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.

My wife and I have been married for a few years now and the pharmacy still has her name hyphenated as maidenname-legalname because that was the only way to get the prescriptions consistently processed by insurance

Glad you got to reclaim your name, Ms. Mouse.
Changes my name to McMoney
Looks for rich woman to marry and offer her my last name as incentive
!nominativedeterminism@feddit.uk
Wouldn't this be reverse nominative determinism?
Ya know... I thought about that later, too. Not sure about intentionally getting married to someone with a last name that fits your profession, though.
