Why can't it be something fun like swapping surnames and then creating a portmaneau or blended name for the kids.

No, children should get all their parents' surnames ad infinitum. My grandkids will have 8 surnames. Their grandkids will have 32.

Say what you want, but this system has the fewest edge cases.

Jugemu Jugemu Gokou no Surikire Kaijari Suigyou no Suigyou Matsu Unrai Matsu Fuurai Matsu Kuuneru Tokoro ni Sumu Tokoro Yabura Kouji no Bura Kouji Paipo Paipo Paipo no Shuuringan Shuuringan no Guurindai Guurindai no Ponpokopii no Ponpokonaa no Choukyuumei no Chousuke but every part except "Chousuke" was actually the surname

Why's it gotta start with you, rather than retroactively accounting for as far back in your ancestry as you can go?

And how do you do the ordering of all those names?

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 15 points 6 months ago

It starts with me because I'm a special boy.

The ordering is alphabetical of course.

You don’t have to go back too far before you’re gonna be mixing alphabets and using altered versions of last names.

Hey wait a minute, doesn't your idea also have this issue? Say currently my name is Al Funky Stuff and I have a child with Lea Johnson Smith, the kid's surnames would be Funky (my patrilineal name) and Smith (my wife's matrilineal name). But my wife's matrilineal name is not actually matrilineal, it's her mom's patrilineal name. So we'd have to go and switch it out for her mom's second surname, which itself is her grandma's patrilineal surname, and so on. So you'd end up having to trace your genealogy regardless of how many surnames a child inherits. Unless I misunderstood your system?

The matriline names would need to be inaugurated.

Having names like the ones breeders give to purebred dogs would be hilarious.
