Best marriage related name issue I know of was when Alan Meredith married Meredith Alan. Yes she is Meredith Meredith 

The irony is they were two university students introduce because of the names. She loves to sometimes confuse people with the following:
"Hi, I'm Dr Meredith Meredith nee Alan, have you met my husband Alan..."

I once had two subordinates, one an Englishman called Morgan, the other a Welshman called Chichester. They hadn't noticed, either.

I say Fenton! You could warn a chap before you use that kind of language!

30%---which is rather poor considering I know a man whose father once danced the foxtrot with Lady Diana Cooper. Obviously not good enough.

Thank heavens we ex-colonials aren't expected to know the difference, and can concentrate on getting the grammar right.

[Hertsblue]

[FierceKitty]

Can't dispute that, alas.
