The husband taking his wife's surname is not that unusual in Norway or the older countries that comprise Germany today.
I use the surname at birth for both the man and the woman. When they have been known by another surname later in life, I have added that as an AKA. This allows a "cleaner" tracing a child's ancestry.

I have a German colleague at work who took on his wife's surname when they got married!
