Woman takes husband's surname that's the same as her first name

A woman's decision to take her husband's last name has left others speechless, as she now has the same forename and surname.

For women it's a long standing tradition to take their fiancées name at the alter, but it's so rare that the blushing bride's first name is identical as the groom's last title. But one mum who encountered this situation decided to go with it, as she believes it brings them closer as a couple, even if it brands her with a "double name".

Now, the woman has taken to social media to share how she came to be known as Bailey Bailey, as she felt compelled to do so in response to a TikTok video asking about couples' matching names, reports the Mirror.
