Does she want to change her name? Maybe she likes her current surname. Do you want to change your name? It is NOT necessary to change your name.

The only thing I know then is that traditionally the wife changes her middle name to her husband's first name and takes his last name. Whether that is a law or not, I don't know. Arrggghhh....In no state in the US is it necessary or required for the wife to change her name however.

Maybe she could change her last name to Anna. That way she could be Indie Anna and if he changed his name to jones they could be known as Indie Anna (and) Jones.
