    NEWSFLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A LOT OF MEN HAVE TAKEN THE LAST NAME OF THEIR WIVES WE JUST DON'T HEAR ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT IN THE SPOTLIGHT. I KNOW THREE MEN WHO USE THE LAST NAME OF THEIR WIVES. ONE SAID IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR THEIR KIDS WHEN THEY HAD THEM. ONE NEVER LIKED HIS LAST NAME THE OTHER JUST WANTED TO BE DIFFERENT.

    These hollywwod and new yuck city romance things don't last anyway, no matter a name change or whatever. Besides who cares if he changes his name, no one will ever see it on a signature or credit and besides that it IS sort of dumb.
