I read an article about this a few years ago, and the answer is whatever they want. I remember one couple said they just decided they liked the wife's grandmother's maiden name, so they just picked that. She was confused but flattered.

Yea you cna change your last name to anything when you get married.

I know a few people who've done this. When they got married they decided they didn't like either last name so just chose a new one. In one case it was the guy's online handle - which was also a normal last name. In the other case it was a name from their favourite movie.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
