Is this really all that strange?

My brother's wife din't, either. But she is the only one I know like that.
I think it she kept her name for professional reasons, mostly -- partly because she comes from a family of all females (sort of the "last of the line" concept, though this never made sense to me) -- and I am certain it's partly because people fuck up the pronunciation of my family's surname
all the time. . .
