Men Taking Wives’ Last Names?
Thu 29 Mar 2007 – 21.19
Whoa. I know we live in the future and all, but I had to do a double take when I saw this headline a few days ago. As someone with a very eccentric last name, you might say I’m sensitive to issues regarding family names, which is why I felt so compelled to post this article.
From USA Today comes the tale of how there is apparently a growing trend of men taking the last name of his wife.
There are few quick tales of those daring, daring (and probably whipped) men who are challenging our good ole western traditions. Here’s a sneak peek:

Incredible.
