I noticed early on in John's and my relationship that people had a lot of trouble spelling as well as pronouncing his last name, "Bartelt," whereas they always get mine, "Huntzinger," right. So even had I been interested in swapping my surname for John's I would have thought long and hard about how much I wanted to spend the rest of my life saying, "No, not Bartlett."
Of course, if he'd been named, I dunno, Plantagenet, I might have been willing to put up with the inconvenience. But I'm sure Amazon.com would have thought my Real Name was Plant Agent or something.
