I've met many men and women with the same last name.  ;-)

Actually, in some cultures, there's a minor difference in the male and 
female version of a last name.  I knew one Polish woman, who said that 
when the male verion of a last name ends with "ski", the female version 
ends with "ska", for example "Polanski" and "Polanska".
