A woman meets a man and becomes so infatuated with him that she imagines herself married to him. She practices pronouncing or signing her first name with his last name, or "Mrs" plus his surname or "Mrs" plus his full name in a rather old-fashioned way. Men fantasise like this about their secret crushes' or their girlfriends' names as well when they think of them as their new wife. Less frequently, men will try to see or hear how their name would look or sound like if they took their beloved's name for their own. Artistic types or those who like keeping a diary might write it down and often combine it with Love Doodles.
Shippers on Deck and Matchmakers might amuse themselves with these exciting and wonderful-sounding names as well. For them, it's a favourite pastime activity, and it's often a good way to persuade their objects about benefits of the potential match.
Sometimes the name and the Blue Blood title might be the main thing that is coveted in the prospective marriage, and of course the house, money and upper-class lifestyle that go with it. The man can be just a means of obtaining the cool sounding name.
Compare/contrast The Maiden Name Debate.

Emma:
When Mrs Weston imagines Mr Knightley loves Jane Fairfax, she talks about it with Emma. Emma immediately dislikes this potential Mrs Knightley.
A hypothetical Mrs Knightley appears in conversation between single Mr Kinghtley and Mrs Elton who fancies herself 'Lady Patroness' of the neighbourhood. He uses it merely as a reminder that no woman can behave like a mistress of his house, except his wife. However, the ending of the book reveals he already had a certain lady in mind.

Bye Bye Birdie has a song in which Rosie sings about how she could have been "Mrs. Peterson ... Mrs. Albert Peterson ... Mrs. Phi Beta Kappa Peterson, the English teacher's wife." She actually is engaged (sort of) to Albert and is (mostly) bemoaning that he's Conrad Birdie's agent/songwriter rather than a professor of English, but the reason he's not an English teacher is largely the same reason they're not married yet: he refuses to stand up to his controlling shrew of a mother.

During the Season 4 Full House episode "Secret Admirer" (in which a letter from Rusty - son of Danny's girlfriend from the first half of that season - attempts to send a love letter to his crush, D.J.); Kimmy Gibbler comes into the possession of said letter and thinks it was from Uncle Jesse; briefly leading to Kimmy thinking of invoking the trope before thinking it would be better for Jesse to use her last name.

Jane Eyre:
When Mr Rochester's Operation: Jealousy is still on and Jane believes he's about to marry Blanche Ingram, he talks about Mrs Rochester and his new carriage as a present for her. (Of course, he already means Jane at this point.)
When Jane and Mr Rochester are engaged, he talks about her new name a lot. To Jane, it sounds strange and unfitting, which foreshadows their separation.

The Discworld of A.A. Pessimal has adolescent schoolgirl Mariella Smith-Rhodes daydreaming about her crush and wondering what it would be like to be Mrs Mericet. note  no, not the veteran poisons and Extreme Alchemy teacher at the Assassins' School. That would be Nightmare Fuel. Mariella's secret crush is senior schoolboy Rupert Mericet, who edits the School newspaper and turns his distant relative's mordant sarcasm into lethal satire. He's actually quite a nice guy who is fond of Mariella, but in a big-brotherly sort of way.

In Vanity Fair, the narrator mocks the obsession of women who want to be My Lady Crawley and marry Sir Pitt. The house itself and his position in society are really enviable and he mentions how wonderfully are women risen to nobility respected by their old acquaintances, but Sir Pitt himself is a rather disgusting and crude man. But a nobleman nonetheless. Becky Sharp is one of them; though she happens to marry his younger son instead. At the end of the book, Becky calls herself Lady Crawley, though she never was — she is supposed to be Mrs Crawley.

In "The Boyfriend Complexity", Penny pretends to get back together with Leonard because he's the only boyfriend her father has ever approved of. In one scene, she says to Leonard, "You know what I've been doing for the last hour?" and Leonard asks, "Dreamily doodling 'Mrs. Leonard Hofstadter' in a notebook?" Penny has tired of the whole charade by this point, so she's not amused.

The narrator of Wuthering Heights first becomes interested in the story of Heathcliff and Catherine when he finds evidence of this trope in Catherine's old room. He reads her old diary which she kept in some empty pages of a book. Her maiden name was Catherine Earnshaw and she wrote Catherine Earnshaw, Catherine Heathcliff and Catherine Linton all over some pages. Turns out she was torn between Heathcliff and Edgar Linton.

Persuasion:
Captain Wentworth befriends the Musgroves of Uppercross and both of the eldest sisters Henrietta and Louisa like him a lot. Mary and Charles Musgrove agree that he would be a great match for either but keep arguing over which one he prefers. It's even hinted that Captain Wentworth could become a baronet. Mary thinks 'Lady Wentworth' sounds very well.
Anne Elliot is courted by William Elliot, her distant cousin who is her father's heir. Mr Elliot knows she loves her home and tries to use its charm to woo Anne, saying he hopes her name might never change. Anne's godmother and friend Lady Russell also brings it up and says she would love to see Anne as the future mistress of Kellynch, the future Lady Elliot.
Mrs Smith tells her friend Anne about hot gossip from Bath: that her sister's companion, widowed Mrs Clay, means to marry their widowed father Sir Walter and that she means to be the next Lady Elliot.

The title character of Danny Phantom uses this trope a few times before he gets over his crush on Paulina, who only loves his superhero side and could care less about his human identity. In "Pirate Radio", as Phantom he suggests that she needs to "wrap [her] mind around the idea of 'Paulina Fenton'." This receives a callback in the movie "Reality Trip" when Danny's secret identity has been exposed to the world
Later, in "Secret Weapons", it's revealed that the password to the private ghost files on his computer is likewise "Paulina Fenton".

Central Park: In the song "Perfect Relationship," Molly sings about how great things are with her boyfriend Brendan, even though she hasn't known him very long. She first sings that she doesn't know his last name, then resolves to write "Mrs. Brendan" on all her things.

As The Legend of Korra takes place in a setting where last names are not universal, and the series ends with an Official Couple with one girl — Asami Sato — who has a last name and one — Korra — who doesn't, fan fics were quick to adopt the practice of having Korra take the name "Korra Sato," whether depicting the two as married or not.

In The Princess Diaries: Mia outright states in her diary that she doesn't do this with Michael's surname because she thinks it's cringy and doesn't plan on taking his surname anyway. She then realises that with her being royalty he'd probably be expected to take her official surname of Renaldo instead and then starts writing his name that way which she does turn out to like doing.

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman:
Lois briefly considers taking up the name Kent after her marriage to Clark. She takes Clark's nameplate from his desk at the office and covers the "Clark" in "Clark Kent" with her own nameplate to see how "Lois Lane Kent" would look.
In the season 1 finale as Lois is about to marry Lex Luthor, she practices "Lois Luthor" and its variations to herself in the mirror before realizing that none of them feels right; but "Lois Kent" does. She still goes through with the ceremony, though.

In The Adventures of Puss in Boots a group of black cats decide to trick a Puss cursed into being black into staying with them forever, which is detailed in their "mystical tome", which turns out to simply be the leader's diary. After that the diary is just filled with "Mr and Mrs Fransisco Puss in Boots" over and over.

Midsomer Murders: The male version occurs in "A Grain of Truth". While searching Gabriel Arnson's house, Winter finds a photo of Chrissie Larkton being used as a bookmark. On the back of the photo, Gabriel has jotted down the various combinations of Chrissie's first name and his surname.

How I Met Your Mother:
In the pilot episode, Ted comes home from his first date with Robin. He excitedly and dreamily says he has found the future Mrs. Ted Mosby.
The incredibly drunk Ted Mosby and Barney Stinson get into a fight over Robin Sherbatsky and have this eloquent and well reasoned debate. Ted even suggests taking her name for his own.

Referenced on Frasier, after Frasier and Bebe sleep together and Frasier lets her down gently, saying it was a mistake. Later, when talking about it with Niles:
