"After attempting to make his mark as a footballer, photographer and chef, at last Brooklyn Peltz Beckham appears to have secured his legacy. He will no longer be remembered as simply the nepo-baby son of David and Victoria; he'll also go down in history as a somewhat unlikely/possibly accidental feminist activist. It was when Brooklyn married Nicola Peltz in 2022 that he became Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, an ally who turbo-boosted a quietly growing trend."
"Rather than a heterosexual bride surrendering her name and adopting her husband's as default, or double-barrelling alone, both partners take both names. It's modern, equal and refreshing, as opposed to proper Handmaid's Tale vibes. Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty was clearly inspired by Brooklyn imagine! and has followed his lead, becoming Adam Ramsay Peaty after tying the knot with Gordon's daughter Holly."
Brooklyn Peltz Beckham adopted his wife's surname after marrying Nicola Peltz in 2022 and thereby amplified a trend of both partners taking both surnames. Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty adopted Ramsay after marrying Holly Ramsay, becoming Adam Ramsay Peaty. Historical double-barrelling dates to the 15th century to preserve family wealth and saw renewed popularity in the 1970s during second-wave feminism. Recent male participation in double-barrelling marks a cultural shift toward equality in marriage-name decisions and represents a reciprocal approach to compromise and identity retention.
