And I can't help but wonder how the existing restrictive name usage works for adoptions and legal name changes. And Heaven forbid you ever have somebody in your file that underwent a sex change operation. What a mess that would be.

The problem isn't in the wording for her event, but her maiden name shows up in the census and residence events for her children. The census form shows her married name and that is the way it should be recorded in Legacy. I suggest that you add an option to change the name as it is appears for other family members in shared events.

Individual events always use the surname of the person, after all she may have had more than one husband and how would Legacy know which marriage to use for the surname. For the same reason you cannot try to have an individual event use a spouse name, if you try Legacy will just use the person's name.
