Against tradition, Marco Perego is about to become Marco Saldana, taking the second name of his film star wife. Other husbands are gingerly following his lead. Can there really be a surname revolution taking place, with husbands taking their wives’ second names?

The Internet predictably exploded after Guardians of the Galaxy actress Zoe Saldana told In Style magazine that her husband, Italian artist Marco Perego, has decided to take on her exponentially more famous surname, effectively becoming Marco Saldana.

What does this flipping of the traditional script, with men doffing their last names for their spouse’s, mean? Are we entering the realm of Brad Jolie or Sean Theron?
