List of people who adopted matronymic surnames : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of people who adopted matronymic surnames This is a list of notable people who have changed, adopted or adjusted their surnames based on a mother's or grandmother's maiden name. Included are people who changed their legal names and people who created personal or professional pseudonyms. Under longstanding Western custom and law, children are customarily given the father's surname, except for children born outside marriage, who often carry their mother's family names.〔Supreme Court of New Jersey, (Gubernat v. Deremer ), opinion delivered by J. Stein, 11 May 1995.〕 However, in the 1970s, some women began to adopt their mother's maiden name as their legal surnames. People in Sweden have recently begun adopting maternal line surnames in an effort to broaden the number of last names in the country. __NOTOC__ ==Stage names== Many actors and other entertainers elect to add or include their mothers' maiden names in their adopted stage names. The book ''How to be a Working Actor: The Insider's Guide to Finding Jobs in Theater, Film, and Television'' advises aspiring performers to consider changing their names, noting that "if (birth name ) is difficult to spell, pronounce, or remember, it may not be the name you want for your professional career." It goes on to suggest: "If you want to retain a connection to your family, try using your mother's maiden name or the name of a revered relative."〔Mari Lyn Henry and Lynne Rogers (2008). (''How to be a Working Actor (5th Edition): The Insider's Guide to Finding Jobs in Theater, Film, and Television'' ), Random House; ISBN 0-8230-8895-2, ISBN 978-0-8230-8895-9.〕 A person's mother's maiden name is used by many financial institutions as a key piece of information to validate a customer's identity.〔 In 2005, researchers showed that the common practice of using a mother's maiden name as the basis for a stage name could be exploited to entice people to reveal that name and other details that could allow fraudsters to steal their identities. Researchers asked a random sample of people on London streets a series of questions, beginning with "What is your name?" They then engaged in conversation about theatre, asked people if they knew how actors choose their stage names, then told them that stage names were typically a combination of the name of a pet and the mother's maiden name. Next the participants were asked what their stage names would be; 94% responded by revealing both their mother's maiden name and a pet's name.〔("Survey Reveals That People Will Give Away Their Identity For A Chance To Win Theatre Tickets" ), net-security.org, 24 March 2005; accessed 17 February 2011. Also reported by Paul Hales, ("Nicking folks' identities is easy, says researcher" ), ''The Inquirer'', 24 March 2005.〕
