Because in Slavian countries they use to have a male and a female version of a surname.

For Nelson Mandela, you could argue that 2 of his 3 wives were quite famous. Winnie of course (wife number 2) but also his 3rd wife Graca Machel, who is his widow and also the widow of Mozambique's first president (and believed to be the only woman who was 1st lady of 2 different countries).

Also the same can be said about the wives of Juan Peron, where 2 were (are) very famous. Eva Peron (wife number 2) is the most well known (outside of Argentina), but 3rd wife Maria Estela (isabel) was his VP and succeeded him as president upon his death.

Both the list itself and the results kind of point out the extent to which the U.S. has never gotten over certain monarchical aspects, such as the queen-like status of the "First Lady." As a politically-conscious Canadian, I have no idea what the names of any spouses of Prime Minsters have been since Margaret Trudeau (which takes us back more than three decades) - yet I have no trouble remembering the names of American queens.

Thanks to one of the James Bond movies (I think it was the "Spy Who Loved Me") for giving me Denis Thatcher. The phone rings and the woman playing Margaret Thatcher says, "I'll get it,Denis".

I was wondering what the connection was to quizzes tagged "seasonal". Then I realized nothing says Valentine's Day like the marriages of Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher and Augustus.
