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

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.
