Dodgy name changes

For a bit of light heartedness between all this wedding planning....

How many of you have married to become a very dodgy Mrs?

I'm currently a Gibson and when I marry my fiancee will become a Buchanan. I dont think thats too bad really!

My sister was a Gibson and her husband a Middleton but they both disliked it and decided to merge the two and become Midson. Not sure which was worse really :P

    A girl I know kept her maiden name as she would have been Kelly Delly! Another friend kept hers because her first name was the same as her H2B's surname!!!

    I used to work with a woman who was engaged to a Mr Tickle. She swore she was going to name her first daughter Tess.:rotfl:

    I apologise to anyone with these names but it made me giggle.

    I was going through the local paper checking out the couples who had married the previous week - one was a Burke and had married a Wally.
    I couldn't decide which I would rather be!!!!! LOL

    Well Roy Wood (he of the Move fame etc) named his daughter Holly and her surname is Wood. How cruel is that?

    This thread reminded me of an email that was sent to me a while ago of silly names in America.
