there was a thread about this a while back.

He got married and took his wife's name.

Guess we know who wears the pants in that relationship.

I thought it was to honor one of his parents? His mother maybe?

It has been announced that London legally changed his name to London Fletcher-Baker to honor his father and grandfather.

Entering his ninth NFL season, Bills middle linebacker London Fletcher is now London Fletcher-Baker. He had his name officially changed this offseason to help preserve his grandfather's and father's surname, which is Baker. Fletcher was his mother's last name, and as the family's only male offspring, he wanted to keep the Baker name going as well. Fletcher will still be the name he uses in his football career, and on the back of his jersey.

If I had read it, I would have posted the link. Instead, I relied on my memory because I was too lazy to look it up. I remember several pages about people debating whether or not dudes should take their wives' names- I forgot the part where someone finally found out what really happened.
