To take your husband's last name -- or to keep your own? That's a question every engaged woman faces, even if she's a celebrity who earned her fame under her given name. Many celebs choose to take their spouse's last name at least privately, including two who bucked tradition and took their wives' last names.
Some of these women's choices might surprise you -- since we don't know them by any other names. However, this marital surname tradition is alive and well in Hollywood.
Should celebs be different than anyone else when it comes to changing their names?
