ok.. how do I change a name?
Marhis:
another solution may be <alert: self-advertising here> the last name chooser at MTS2.

I use Marhis's mod, and it's been great for me, as I often like for my female sims to keep their maiden names. The family name depends on whose house a sim is moved into. For example, I had Cyd Roseland move into Tara Kat's house, because it was bigger than his tiny condo. Thus, even though Cyd proposed the marriage, and I did have Tara take his name, the family-name stayed as Kat. Fixing this in SimPE is very easy.
Edited for clarity.
Gwill:
The lot debugger only copies first name to last. You can use it, but it's fiddly since you first have to change their first name and then copy it, then change first name back.
Just use SimPE. It's one of the easiest things to change in SimPE. And install marriagetraditional or Marhis' mod to avoid problems in the future.
Personally, I have no clue why people ever change their name. My sims always get to keep theirs.
Onion Girl:
If I want the wife to change her name - I make the husband initiate the actual wedding ceremony (or 'Propose Marriage') and vice versa for make sims. As far as I know, it doesn't matter who proposes the engagment - just the marriage itself.

I only change the names of family sims, since they seem like they'd be more traditional than the other aspirations. Knowledge sims, whom I imagine to be a bit more progressive, generally keep their own names. Changing name does make sense if you want all of the offspring to have the father's surname. I personally don't mind changing the sprogs' names in SimPE, or with Christianlov's last name changer, but some people might be put off by having to manually change the name.
