TAP: Web Feature: Name Game. by Mary Lynn F. Jones. February 11, 2003. Teresa Heinz did a curious thing last week. The wife of Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), a White House hopeful, changed her name to Teresa Heinz Kerry. Her husband's campaign did not deny that the move was motivated not by love but by political necessity. "There were political people who were advising the senator who were concerned it would be confusing," Heinz's spokeswoman Chris Black told The Boston Globe. Heinz will continue to use Heinz as her last name in her personal and professional life; it will change only in the context of her husband's campaign.
Such a move is troubling for several reasons. Why can't a woman spouse keep her own name in politics?
