Has Courteney Cox (Arquette) Dropped Her Married Name?

We’ve been seeing posters for Courteney Cox‘s new show, “Cougar Town,” all over New York, and on one particularly long subway ride, we stared at it so long that we started pondering her name. Wasn’t she Courteney Cox Arquette a few years ago? And isn’t she supposedly still happily married? We double-checked the credits in “Friends” (screengrab after the jump), and Courteney did go by all three names after she wed David Arquette, so what gives?
- Does ABC think no one will recognize her name, and they’re banking on her popularity to attract viewers?
- Was her full name too long for the posters?
- Has Courteney decided to give up her married name and stick to Courteney Cox professionally because it has a nicer ring to it?
- Or, are she and David prepping for a split?

And as usual I think you’re reading way too far into this.

I read somewhere once that Courtney Cox dropped the Arquette after her father passed away as a tribute to him.

Sorry, I’ll comment here in a bit. I’m still watching the linked trailer. Again. And again.

I heard the same thing, that she dropped it when her father passed away.

I’m sure if the new show catches on she will be making a statement. Was she using Cox or Arquette during the run of “Dirt”?

maybe its to draw focus to the Cox, which sounds like Cocks, which would be great for a show about cougars.

She dropped Arquette and kept Cox as her name as a tribute to her father who passed away. You’re reading way too much into this.
