When we applied for our marriage license in Minnesota, there was a space for us both to write our current legal name and the name we would be using as our legal name after the wedding. I'm assuming that means either one of us could have written whatever names we wanted to in there. Personally, I dropped my birth middle name, replaced it with my maiden name, and took my husband's last name. He kept his name the same, although it would've been kind-of neat if he'd had taken my maiden name as his middle name. But hindsight being 20/20, it's a pain in the rear to change your middle initial.

Any state will allow it. A name change is a name change whether the man or the woman does it.

As far as I know, there isn't any places that do not allow it. Maybe some religions might not, but individual states shouldn't have a say on it. It's between the bride and groom.

Beats me, why would he want to do that. Maybe bad credit but his SSN will remain the same no matter what name he chooses

Anyone change their name at any time, unless it is for felonious or fraudulent reasons.

I don't think there are any such LAWS. You can use whatever name you want as long as you have it legally changed,
