In mildly emasculating yet quite hysterical court papers, Jay Mohr is asking to have his wife's last name legally added to his own. Jay Mohr will now forever be known as Jon Ferguson Cox Mohr.
Usually people add the new name to the end, but then he would have been Mohr Cox -- and, well ... that would just be wrong.
16. Any self-respecting judge should feel morally compelled to force him into having the partial last name of Mohr Cox.

19. Is he changing his first name to "Jon," or is this a typo?

20. fire*baby,
you are seriously messed up in the head if you honestly feel that way. there is absolutely nothing wrong or immasculating about a man choosing to take his wife's surname. in fact, i think more credibilty should be given to men for doing so. i have not one, but 2 male friends that took on their wives' surnames after marriage. one of them was to honor his wife's family, who consisted off all girls, and to carry on the family name, and the other man chose to take on his wife's surname to show his committment to both her and her daughter (whom she had from a previous relationship). he didn't want to have the little girl to have a different name from her mother. i find both these men honorable, and would like to see more of the same follow. i hope that one day, should i choose to marry, that my future husband and i discuss ALL options, and to not bow down to the STATUS QUO of absurdity! my cousin recently got married for the second time, and i asked her husband if he was going to take her name and he actually scoffed at the notion. instead, my cousin's daughter (his step-daughter) is being made to change her name for the THIRD time--all before the age of 13. she was born with her father's surname, then after her parent's divorce her name was changed to her mother's maiden name, and now she's taking on yet another surname. i guess it doesn't matter as long as you're a girl, right? we're not entitled to pride in our surnames? or the want to keep them? pass them on? eh, she'll just collect another one when she grows and gets married on her own, right?

22. What's emasculating about adding your wife's last name to yours? Especially a name like Cox?

23. Puns aside, why is it "emasculating" for a man to add his wife's family name to his own? Nobody thinks a woman is less of a woman for taking her husband's name. C'mon TMZ...do you also think a woman who's not a virgin when she gets married is 'tainted', or that "real men" shouldn't care about their personal grooming? In Latin America, many children inherit their mother's name. In Germany, many men are taking their wife's name if it's easier to pronounce or simpler to write for the children. Grow up!

ok, we have to be more specific: His wife was hot until she pumped her lips up like dang hot dogs! She looks like the offspring of Jocelyn Wildenstein now. Jesus, it only makes her eyes beadier...she should go back to the way she was before, PRETTY!

25. why is it emasculating? for years women have had to relinquish their names to take their husbands'. i think it is a showing of refreshing equality that a man, especially one in the public eye, would voluntarily take his wife's name instead. a marriage should be a partnership, with either partner having the equal and equally acceptable right to take whichever name they want. i think it's unfortunate that men have to appeal to the court system in making that choice, obviously showing how we're still not there yet in realizing that a woman taking a man's name is an outdated practice, the historical foundations of which were grounded in sexist principles. now it's just become a matter of unconscious and un-reflective practice. bravo jay mohr for choosing to think differently.
