Talking of British legacy, Indian government should stop asking for husband's name for a woman (and father's name for a man) when she is a major. Way back when my wife applied for a passport it was sent back because she did not send no objection certificate from her husband (i.e. me) and I did not have a passport. I do not know if they still require it. So I also applied and got both the passports. Air India too used to ask for father's name (for men) and husband's name for married women - all this for frequent flier no. They stopped it after I sent them an email about it.
I do not know if you are in UK they ask you about your father's/husband's name in any application (in the USA it is not done)
